Amyloid Proteins
Amyloid proteins are a class of proteins that tend to stick together and form aggregates, resulting in a material known as amyloid fibrils. These fibrils are associated with several diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. By understanding the structure of the amyloid proteins and how they interact, scientists are able to better diagnose and treat these diseases. The research into these proteins also has the potential to improve our understanding of the relationship between protein misfolding and disease, as well as shedding light on the underlying pathology of these diseases.
