Fig. 5: Orientation of the β-sheets relative to the fibril z-axis.
From: Amyloid fibril structure from the vascular variant of systemic AA amyloidosis
a Different tilt of residues Ser2-Asp33 of the vascular (green, stack B) and glomerular fibril (cyan). The continuous line is parallel to the fibril z-axis. The dotted line is drawn to guide the eye. Tyr29 (red) serves as a reference point. b Schematic representation of the effect of the handedness of the fibril on the tilt of the β-strands relative to the z-axis. The red lines are drawn to highlight the angular tilt of the β-strands. The continuous black line indicates the fibril z-axis.
