TABLE 2.

Summary of the results obtained by Ala scan on the octapeptide NFGAILSS

Aggregated structures Polymerization kinetics
AFGAILSS Short and branched fibers Faster aggregation
NAGAILSS Nonfibril organization
NFAAILSS Long fibers Similar velocity
NFGAALSS Long fibers Slower kinetics
NFGAIASS Long fibers Slower kinetics

The results are compared with the wild-type derivative. The Ala substitution is shown in bold.
