Amyloid structure–one but not the same: the many levels of fibrillar polymorphism

JS Pedersen, CB Andersen, DE Otzen - The FEBS journal, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Many proteins and peptides can form amyloid‐like structures both in vivo and in vitro.
Although strikingly similar fibrillar structures can be observed across a variety of amino acid …

Why do proteins aggregate?“Intrinsically insoluble proteins” and “dark mediators” revealed by studies on “insoluble proteins” solubilized in pure water

J Song - F1000Research, 2013 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In 2008, I reviewed and proposed a model for our discovery in 2005 that unrefoldable and
