Protein Misfolding and Aggregation : A Chemical Perspective
Abstract: Research on protein misfolding has identified several important diseases in which abnormal protein structures play a major role. In Alzheimer’s disease, Amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides and Tau proteins can misfold and accumulate. Prion diseases are unusual because a misfolded protein can act as a template and encourage other normal proteins to adopt an abnormal structure. Understanding the chemistry behind protein folding is therefore important not only for basic research but also …
