Unlocked capacity of proteins to attack membranes characteristic of aggregation: the evil for diseases and aging from Pandora’s box

2016-08-24

Abstract excerpt

Aggregation of specific proteins is characteristic of a large spectrum of human diseases including all neurodegenerative diseases, while aggregation of non-specific proteins has been now identified to be a biomarker for cellular aging down to Escherichia coli . Previously, as facilitated with our discovery in 2005 that “completely insoluble” proteins could be all solubilized in unsalted water [Song (2009) FEBS L...
