It's commonly accepted that protein folding/misfolding are alternative reactions of unfolded proteins but the principles governing this remain unknown. Here, researchers describe a general concept ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 247, No. 1251 (Oct. 21, 1958), pp. 440-453 (18 pages) Ice crystals, growing on a fibre in a water-vapour ...

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...

Researchers from Osaka University have described the link between accurate protein folding and misfolding that can lead to the formation of amyloid fibers, which are implicated in neurodegenerative ...
