Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the ...
