Abstract excerpt
Protein ApoA1 is extensively studied for its role in lipid metabolism. Its seedy dark side of amyloid formulation remains relatively understudied yet. Due to genetic mutations, the protein pathologically misshapes into its amyloid form that gets accumulated in various organs, including the heart. To contrive effective therapeutics against this debilitating congenital disorder, it is imperative to comprehend the...
