Pressure-accelerated dissociation of amyloid fibrils in wild-type hen lysozyme

The dynamics of amyloid fibrils, including their formation and dissociation, could be of vital importance in life. We studied the kinetics of dissociation of the amyloid fibrils from wild-type hen lysozyme at 25°C in vitro as a function of pressure using Trp fluorescence as a probe. Upon 100-fold di...
