Abstract

hIAPP fibrillization implicated in Type 2 diabetes pathology involves formation of oligomers toxic to insulin producing pancreatic beta-cells. We report design, synthesis, 3D structure and functional characterization of dehydrophenylalanine (Delta F) containing peptides which inhibit hIAPP fibrillization. The inhibitor protects beta-cells from hIAPP induced toxicity.
