Table 1. Dependence of the Fibril Morphology and VCD on the Aggregation pH for Insulin, Lysozyme, apo-α-Lactalbumin, HET-s (218-289), and TTR (105-115) Fibrils.

protein, incubation conditions pH region morphology VCD sign pattern ΔA/A ∼1620 cm-1
insulin, 24 h at 70 °C 1.3–2.1 flat tape-like reversed 0.15 × 10–4 to 0.18 × 10–4
  2.4–3.1 left-twisted normal –1 x10–4 to –3.5 × 10–4
lysozyme, 3 days at 65 °C 1.0–1.9 flat tape-like reversed 0.9 × 10–2 to 1.7 × 10–2
  2.3 flat tape-like, left-twisted normal, reversed –2 × 10–4
  2.7 left-twisted normal –8 × 10–3
apo-α-lactalbumin, 3 days at 37 °C 1.5–2.5 left-twisted > flat tape-like reversed 4.2 × 10–4 to 5.1 × 10–4
  3.0 flat tape-like reversed 3.3 × 10–4
  4.0 flat tape-like reversed 0.25 × 10–4
HET-s (218–298), 2 months at room temp 2.0 left-twisted normal –1.2 × 10–2
  3.3–3.9 flat tape-like reversed 2.5 × 10–4 to 4.7 × 10–4
TTR (105–115), 2 days at 37 °C followed by 14 days at room temp 1.0–1.5 cylindrical, presumably left-twisted normal –0.5 × 10–4 to −1 × 10–4
  2.0–3.0 flat tape-like reversed 2.5 × 10–4 to 7 × 10–4
