Abstract

Copper(ii) coordination to human amylin has an influence on the aggregation and cytotoxic features of the polypeptide. Comparative investigations, carried out on a model peptide encompassing the 17–29 aminoacid region of amylin containing the putative metal binding site, support the non-fibrillar nature of the copper(ii) complexes.
