title: Hydrophobic properties of an amyloidogenic kappa I-Bence Jones protein fragment in charge shift electrophoresis.
abstract: Increase in hydrophobicity of amyloid-A protein as compared to the serum amyloid-A precursor protein has been demonstrated with charge shift electrophoresis. Charge shift electrophoresis was applied to the kappa-Bence Jones protein MEV, to amyloid-like fibrils generated in vitro by limited proteolysis of MEV and to an isolated, naturally occurring isolated A lambda (ULI) amyloid fibril protein, to see whether an increase in hydrophobicity is also found in to the immunoglobulin-type amyloid. The results also demonstrate here an increase in hydrophobicity during amyloidogenesis of immunoglobulin-derived amyloid fibril proteins, here.
