Nanomaterials (Basel)
. 2022 Nov;
12(21).
PMID: 36364578
Peptides and proteins can aggregate into highly ordered and structured conformations called amyloids. These supramolecular structures generally have convergent features, such as the formation of intermolecular beta sheets, that lead...

Methods Mol Biol
. 2022 Aug;
2538:207-216.
PMID: 35951302
The amyloid fold is nowadays recognized as an alternative conformation accessible to different proteins and peptides. The highly stable and ordered structural organization of amyloid fibrils can be exploited for...
