| Abstract | The HypF N-terminal domain has been found to convert readily from its native globular conformation into protein aggregates with the characteristics of amyloid fibrils associated with a variety of human diseases. This conversion was achieved by incubation at acidic pH or in the presence of moderate concentrations of trifluoroethanol. Electron microscopy showed that the fibrils grown in the presence of trifluoroethanol were predominantly 3-5 nm and 7-9 nm in width, whereas fibrils of 7-9 nm and 12-20 nm in width prevailed in samples incubated at acidic pH. These results indicate that the assembly of protofilaments or narrow fibrils into mature amyloid fibrils is guided by interactions between hydrophobic residues that may remain exposed on the surface of individual protofilaments. Therefore, formation and isolation of individual protofilaments appears facilitated under conditions that favor the destabilization of hydrophobic interactions, such as in the presence of trifluoroethanol. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
