Cataract, a major cause of visual impairment worldwide, is the opacification of the eye's crystalline lens due to aggregation of the crystallin proteins. The research reported here is aimed at investigating the aggregating behavior of γ-crystallin p

Carnosine, a common dipeptide in mammals, has previously been shown to dissemble alpha-crystallin amyloid fibrils. To date, the dipeptide's anti-fibrillogensis effect has not been thoroughly characterized in other proteins. For a more complete unders

Amyloid fibrils’ stable structure and nice biocompatibility make them good candidates as the templates used in engineering and biomedicine. While palladium nanoparticles have been widely used as catalysts, their high surface energy results in aggre

More than 50 diseases are associated with a conversion of proteins or peptides from their soluble functional states to highly organized fibrillar aggregates called amyloid fibrils. Due to the specific physico-chemical properties, specifically designe

A great variety of human protein deposition and protein aggregation diseases (Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes mellitus, cataract, systemic amyloidosis and other) have been associated with the accumulation of amyloid fibrils in different tissues. Ther

More than thirty human proteins and/or peptides can aggregate to form amyloid deposits that are linked to several amyloid diseases including clinical syndrome injection-localized amyloidosis, which is correlated with the aggregation of the 51-residue

The 129-residue lysozyme has been shown to form amyloid fibrils in vitro. While methylene blue (MB), a compound in the phenothiazinium family, has been shown to dissemble tau fibril formation, its anti-fibrillogenic effect has not been thoroughly cha

Human γ d -crystallin (Hγ d -crystallin), a major protein component of the human eye lens, is associated with the development of juvenile- and mature-onset cataracts. Evidence suggests that nonenzymatic protein glycation plays an important role in

Cataract is known as one of the leading causes of vision impairment worldwide. While the detailed mechanism of cataratogenesis remains unclear, cataract is believed to be correlated with the aggregation and/or misfolding of human ocular lens proteins

Formation of amyloid fibrils has been associated with at least 30 different protein aggregation diseases. The 129-residue polypeptide hen lysozyme, which is structurally homologous to human lysozyme, has been demonstrated to exhibit amyloid fibril-fo
