The influence of Ca2+ and Zn2+ on the amyloid fibril formation by β-casein.

CONCLUSION: Ca2+ and Zn2+ were capable of promoting the β-casein fibril formation in the both absence and presence of HS. This work set up the foundation for further researching of the amyloidosis pathogenesis and provided new insight for us to understand relationship between the inflammation and amyloidosis.
