(A) Representative time courses of amyloid formation from oxidized (solid circles) and reduced PrP (open circles) at 3 M GuHCl. ThT-fluorescence was normalized to its maximum value (353 ± 61 and 481 ± 92 a.u. for oxidized and reduced proteins, respectively). The solid lines represent the best fits to a sigmoidal function. (B) Lag times of amyloid formation were derived from Fig. 5A (n.s., p > 0.05, unpaired two-tailed t-test).
