Schematic illustration of the importance of edge-strands in the aggregation of β-sheet proteins. Local unfolding of the protective edge-strands (orange) has been implicated in amyloid fibril formation for (a) β2m using NMR spectroscopy [83], (b) TTR using hydrogen exchange experiments [192] and (c) SOD using protein engineering [193].
