Choose the true statements about amyloid fibrils. 3 options are correct
1) Because most newly synthesized proteins fold correctly, the accumulation of misfolded proteins (or fragments) tends to occur slowly, thus explaining the slow onset of disease.
2) An amyloid fibril typically forms from aggregates of misfolded peptides resulting from frameshift mutations.
3) An amyloid fibril is stabilized by hydrophobic interactions between aromatic residues.
4) Soluble proteins that misfold and form amyloid fibrils become insoluble.
5) Proteins that convert to an amyloid fibril structure tend to have low solubility in their native form.
