Insulin• Readily forms amyloid fibrils at acidic pH• These dissociate under alkaline conditions, but by what
mechanism?– Dissociation due to charge change at higher pH– Effects of partial distruption of beta-sheet on dissociation via
denaturant addition– Kinetics of dissociation

Dissociation of Amyloid Fibrils at High pH
• Amyloid fibrils formed at pH 2.0 by seeding• Incubated amyloid fibrils at room temperature and various pH for
48h

Is Nothing Happening Below pH 8?Structural changes apparent above pH 4, but no dissociation of
insoluble fibrils until above pH 8 (from TEM)

Significance
• Significance of beta-sheet content on thermodynamic stability of amyloid fibrils
• “Fibrillar state can be thermodynamically more stable than the native state”

Outline
• “Fibril stability is susceptible to electrostatic repulsion between constituent polypeptide chains” (pH 2 to 12)
• “Thermodynamic stability of fibrils is reduced by partial disruption of beta-sheet structure” (pH 4 to 8)
• “The kinetics of insulin fibril dissociation is dependent on the ionization state of a single side chain” (pH>10)

Explanation of Eq 2
Assumptions:• “Each monomer in the fibril experiences a repulsive elctrostatic
interaction with its nearest neighbors”• Dynamic equilibrium exists between the fibrillar and soluble states
of insulin– This can be described by classical linear polymerization theory
