A Partially Structured Species of β2-Microglobulin Is Significantly Populated under Physiological Conditions and Involved in Fibrillogenesis

The folding of β2-microglobulin (β2-m), the protein forming amyloid deposits in dialysis-related amyloidosis, involves formation of a partially folded conformation named I2, which slowly converts into the native fold, N. Here we show that the partially folded species I2 can be separated from N by ca...
