Structural conversion of human islet amyloid polypeptide aggregates under an electric field

Electric fields (EFs) in biological systems are well known, and their presence implies the activity of protein ion channels and pumps in various cells. The aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptides (IAPP) was recently found in human brain tissue, and this was related to the electrical activity of neurons and caused neuronal loss. However, the association between amyloid formation and the electric field is still unknown. Herein a direct method to stimulate the formation of the hIAPP peptide under an EF is reported.
