In packing polymorphism, prion strains are encoded by alternative packing arrangements (polymorphs) of Beta-sheets formed by the same segment of a protein; in segmental polymorphism, prion strains are encoded by distinct Beta-sheets built from different segments of a protein. Both forms of polymorphism can produce enduring conformations capable of encoding strains.", "ligstr": "", "pmid": "19684598", "remarks": "NVGSNTY segment from Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP or Amylin), dehydrated crystal form", "amyloid_non_amyloid": "Amyloid", "type": "Fibril", "inchi": "", "resolution": "1.6", "species": "Homo sapiens", "secondary_structure": "NVGSNTY#CCCCCCC&NVGSNTY#CCSCCCC", "chain_id": "", "gene_names": "", "r_value_free": "0.158", "pdb_id": "3FTL", "reference": "Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2009 Sep;16(9):973-8.", "keyword": "NVGSNTY heptapeptide segment from Islet Amyloid Polypeptide", "protein_name": "Islet amyloid polypeptide", "ligand_formula": "", "peptide_protein_sequence": "chain-ID A: NVGSNTY; chain-ID B: NVGSNTY", "entry": "S-0234", "length": "7", "uniprot_ac": "P10997", "author": "Wiltzius, J.J., Landau, M., Nelson, R., Sawaya, M.R., Apostol, M.I., Goldschmidt, L., Soriaga, A.B., Cascio, D., Rajashankar, K., Eisenberg, D.", "ligand_smiles": "", "ligand_mw": "", "alternative_name": "", "ligand_name": "", "pdb_classification": "PROTEIN FIBRIL", "global_stoichiometry": "Homo 6-mer - A6", "inchi_key": "", "ligand_id": ""}
