Amyloids are filamentous protein deposits ranging in size from nanometres to microns and composed of aggregated peptide β-sheets formed from parallel or anti-parallel alignments of peptide β-strands. Amyloid-forming proteins have attracted a great deal of recent attention because of their association with over 30 diseases. This article highlights some key factors that have been found to influence amyloidogenesis.
