“…Although extensive studies were done on this system by using UV circular dichroism (UVCD) [72][73][74][75], electron microscopy [72,73,[75][76][77], fluorescence spectroscopy using dyes [72][73][74], IR [75,78], Raman [79][80][81], mass spectrometry [82], and so on (see [74] and references therein), adequate molecular structures have not yet been obtained, especially for the intermediate states, because of a lack of analytical tools with a sufficient sensitivity to the protein structure and applicability to time-dependent colloidal samples. As far as we know, NMR spectroscopy has not been applied to the amyloid system, perhaps due to the difficulty of the measurement and analysis for this aggregated system.…”
