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>
