Beta sheet propensity and the genetic code
  So far mutations analysis was performed in terms of transitions and trasversions, so on the basis of the molecule, or in terms of GC-content and isochors, through the quantification of GC->AT mutations over AT->GC mutations. We tried a different approach hypothesizing that probably we are partially protected (by the genetic code) from amyloid fibrils formation.
