Abstract excerpt
The conversion of peptides and proteins into highly ordered and intractable aggregates is associated with a range of debilitating human diseases and represents a widespread problem in biotechnology. Protein engineering studies carried out in vitro have shown that mutations promote aggregation when they either destabilize the native state of a globular protein or accelerate the conversion of unfolded or partially...
