Grains probably being number one trigger becau — partly because
of the amino acid sequence in the grains, I very similar to the surface proteins of the thyroid.
Molecular geneticist Cheng Chi Lee, developmental biologist Gregor Eichele, and their co-workers at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston have isolated a gene in mice and humans that shares 44 %
of the amino acid sequence of the period (per) gene of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
«What's critical with this and what has never been done before is that a single peptide sequence will work against the toxic versions of a number of different amyloid proteins and peptides,
regardless of their amino acid sequence or the normal 3 - D structures.»
Instead, biologists may have to understand and control variations, or codes,
of amino acid sequences in the protein that apparently guide them to engage in certain kinds of assemblies and prevent droplet assemblies from turning into tangled knots.
