Abstract excerpt
Amyloid fibrils represent a stable form of many misfolded proteins associated with numerous diseases. Among these are Parkinson's disease (alpha-synuclein), Type II diabetes (islet amyloid polypeptide), and Alzheimer's disease (amyloid beta-peptide, Abeta). The appearance of Abeta fibrils in neural tissue is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and many studies have been conducted to determine and analyze the...
