Protein Misfolding, Amyloid Formation, and Human Disease: A Summary of Progress Over the Last Decade

Peptides and proteins have been found to possess an inherent tendency to convert from their native functional states into intractable amyloid aggregates. This phenomenon is associated with a range of increasingly common human disorders, including Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases, type II diabetes, a...
