              lang="EN-US">Peculiar optical properties, including
              fluorescence in the visible range, has been recently
              associated with amyloid fibrils, protein aggregates rich
              in beta-sheet structures, interconnected by a network of
              hydrogen bonds. With a combined theoretical approach based
              on ab initio molecular dynamics and TD-DFT for the excited
              state description, we focused on the relation between the
              intrinsic fluorescence observed in amyloid fibrils and
              proton delocalization occurring between the N- and C-
              termini of the polypeptide chains forming the amyloid
              fibrils. The resulting electron delocalization along the
              interconnected hydrogen bond network of the amyloid
              fibrils is the key ingredient for the emergence of
              radiative low lying excited states. Our results thus point
              to an unconventional, structure-related chromophore, where
              extended conjugation is not anymore a prerequisite for the
              observation of fluorescence in the visible range.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
