Amyloid fibrils have traditionally been considered only as pathological aggregates in human
neurodegenerative diseases, but it is increasingly becoming clear that the propensity to form …

Background In recent years, protein fibrillization has attracted extensive attention on account
of endowing food with desirable functional properties and better stability, which makes it a …

Protein amyloid fibrils (PAF) are formed by assembly and aggregation of protein monomers
or peptides. There is an increasing interest for PAF in food research, which owed to their …

Background Nanofibrillation of proteins by heating at extremely acidic condition for long
durations (several hours to days) is studied enthusiastically in food science. The process …

The development towards a sustainable society requires a radical change of many of the
materials we currently use. Besides the replacement of plastics, derived from petrochemical …

Background Everyday operations in the red meat industry generate large quantities of offal
and meat co-products. These traditionally are not valued as highly as prime cuts of meat …

Extended exposure to excessive fluoride-contaminated water causes irreversible damage to
the ecosystem and the local inhabitants. In this study, three amyloid fibril hybrids, which …

Proteins can self-assemble into a range of nanostructures as a result of molecular
interactions. Amyloid nanofibrils, as one of them, were first discovered with regard to the …

Functional nanofibrils from globular proteins are usually formed by heating for several hours
at pH 2.0, which induces acidic hydrolysis and consecutive self-association. The functional …

Template mediated assembly of plasmonic nanomaterials is a promising approach to induce
chirality. Naturally occurring macromolecules can self-assemble to form chiral …
