Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The well-ordered cross β-strand structure found in amyloid aggregates is stabilized by many different side chain interactions, including hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic charge and the intrinsic propensity to form β-sheet structures. In addition to the side chains, backbone interactions are important because of the regular hydrogen-bonding pattern. β-Sheet breaking peptide analogs, such as those formed by N-methylation, interfere with the repetitive hydrogen bonding pattern of peptide strands. Here we test backbone contributions to fibril stability using analogs of the 6–10 residue fibril core of human islet amyloid polypeptide, a 37 amino acid peptide involved in the pathogenesis of type II diabetes. The Phe–Gly peptide bond has been replaced by a hydroxyethylene or a ketomethylene group and the nitrogen-atom has been methylated. In addition, we have prepared peptoids where the side chain is transferred to the nitrogen atom. The backbone turns out to be extremely sensitive to substitution, since only the minimally perturbed ketomethylene analog (where only one of the − NH − groups has been replaced by − CH 2 −) can elongate wildtype fibrils but cannot fibrillate on its own. The resulting fibrils displayed differences in both secondary structure and overall morphology. No analog could inhibit the fibrillation of the parent peptide, suggesting an inability to bind to existing fibril surfaces. In contrast, side chain mutations that left the backbone intact but increased backbone flexibility or removed stabilizing side-chain interactions had very small effect on fibrillation kinetics. We conclude that fibrillation is very sensitive to even small modifications of the peptide backbone.
