Mechanism of amyloid fibril formation. For seeded growth, when nucleation kn can be neglected, there are two kinetic constants defining the growth kinetics: the elongation rate constant (k+) and the breakage rate constant (k). A, spontaneous fibril formation of SpUre2p. B, fibril formation of SpUre2p under the induction of Sc seeds.
