The fibril structure formed by the amyloidogenic fragment SNNFGAILSS of the human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) is determined with 0.52 A resolution. Symmetry information contained in the easily obtainable resonance assignments from solid-state NMR spectra (see picture), along with long-range constraints, can be applied to uniquely identify the supramolecular organization of fibrils.
