Amyloid fibrils are misfolded forms of proteins and are involved in various diseases. They have been studied extensively with the aim to obtain a comprehensive understanding of protein folding and misfolding and to use this knowledge to develop therapeutic strategies against the associated diseases. Salt conditions are important factors determining the formation and stability of amyloid fibrils. In the 1990s, salt effects were studied extensively to understand the conformational stability of acid-denatured proteins, and the results of these studies revealed the role of electrostatic repulsion in forming the compact intermediate states. In this review, we compare the effects of salts on the compact intermediate states with those on the formation of amyloid fibrils under acidic conditions. The results argue that both protein folding and misfolding are driven by the same forces, although the resultant conformations are distinct because they are monomeric and multimeric reactions, respectively.
