Hierarchical mechanics of functional amyloid protein based materials
Amyloid and amyloid-like proteins are a broad class of misfolded protein structures known for their their roles in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, but also for their impressive mechanical properties and their propensity to self-assemble at diverse length scales. These properties make …

Kinetics of Peptide Aggregation
… is the cross-beta secondary structure of the "amyloid"or "prion". As a testament to its stability, the amyloid occurs naturally in 2 rare instances: as a mechanism to protect or destroy life. Pathogenic amyloids are the signature of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's …

Candida Albicans Als5p Amyloid In Host-Microbe Interactions: A Ceanorhabditis Elegans Study
… during active C. albicans infections[1]. An amyloid forming core sequence at residues 325-331 has been shown to be important for Als5p function, because a single amino acid substitution at position 326 (V326N) greatly reduces Als5p-mediated adherence[2]. We evaluated the role of Als5p in …
