Dynamic fibrillar assembly of αB-crystallin induced by perturbation of the conserved NT-IXI motif resolved by cryo-EM - Nature Communications
Here the authors show that mutating αB-crystallin’s NT-IXI motif transforms polydispersed oligomers into ordered fibrils, enabling cryo-EM to provide insights into the principles of high-order assembl...
