Suggested fibrillation mechanism. Left panel: the absence of osmolytes leads to high stress (HS) fibrils. Right panel: the presence of Pro, Ser or COS is suggested to lead to the formation of the labile type A intermediate as the osmolytes bind glucagon, “shielding” it from the high stress conditions. The resulting fibrils are here called low stress (LS).
