Figure 5. Mechanical properties of mutated hIAPP fibrils:

Figure 5

(a) soft bending rigidity, (b) stiff bending rigidity, (c) torsional shear modulus, and (d) axial elastic modulus. (e) Intermolecular interactions between β sheet layers for wild type hIAPP fibril and mutated fibril of class 5. The hydrogen bond networks colored in red, and the side chain is shown with colored in yellow (hydrogen), red (oxygen), blue (nitrogen) and cyan (carbon).
