Protein misfolding, functional amyloid, and human disease.
Peptides or proteins convert under some conditions from their soluble forms into highly ordered fibrillar aggregates. Such transitions can give rise to pathological conditions ranging from… Expand
Protein folding and misfolding

- Nature
- 18 December 2003
The manner in which a newly synthesized chain of amino acids transforms itself into a perfectly folded protein depends both on the intrinsic properties of the amino-acid sequence and on multiple… Expand
Hydrodynamic radii of native and denatured proteins measured by pulse field gradient NMR techniques.
