“…More generally, the monomeric structures of several disease-related amyloidogenic proteins other than α-synuclein are also known to be affected by NaCl concentration, which in turn leads to altered aggregation pathways. Those proteins include Aβ(1–40), , IAPP, β 2 -microglobulin, , insulin, or the antimicrobial peptide uperin 3.5 . The suggested underlying mechanisms seem to be highly diverse, ranging from the aforementioned Debye–Hückel screening, specific ion–protein interactions and solvent-structure changes to the induction of specific secondary structure elements.…”
