Similar phenomena of membranes promoting α-helix formation followed by membrane damage have been observed for at least two other amyloidogenic proteins: α-synuclein, linked to Parkinson’s disease (Dikiy and D Eliezer, 2012) and IAPP, associated with diabetes (Jayasinghe and Langen, 2005; Jayasinghe and Langen, 2007). This evidence concerns the gene IAPP and diabetes mellitus.
