Abstract excerpt
Amyloid fibrils are present in the extracellular space of various tissues in neurodegenerative and protein misfolding diseases. Amyloid fibrils may be used in nanotechnology applications, because of their self-assembly properties and stability, if their growth and orientation can be controlled. Recently, we have shown that amyloid beta 25-35 (A beta 25-35) forms a highly oriented, K(+)-dependent network on mica....
