Post Mortem Interval (PMI) estimation is a key concern of forensic entomology research. Numerous factors are recognized to affect these calculations, and have shown to potentially introduce error, leading to an incorrect time of death estimation. One...

Towards an understanding of amyloidogenesis: a structural and biophysical analysis of transthyretin (2018)
Thesis
Yee, A. W. (2018). Towards an understanding of amyloidogenesis: a structural and biophysical analysis of transthyretin. (Thesis). Keele University

Human transthyretin (TTR) is heavily implicated in a range of fatal amyloid diseases. The propensity to form amyloid varies between wild-type TTR and various mutants. In all cases this occurs by tetramer dissociation to a monomeric form, which in tur...
