Amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by the abnormal accumulation of amyloid proteins in various tissues and organs, disrupting their normal function. This accumulation can occur in a variety of forms, impacting the structure and stability of proteins at multiple levels, from their primary sequence to their quaternary arrangement. As the amyloid proteins misfold and aggregate, they form insoluble fibrils that can lead to organ dysfunction and serious health issues.
