When protein/peptides aggregate, they usually form the amyloid state consisting of cross β-
sheet structure built by repetitively stacked β-strands forming long fibrils. Amyloids are …

In the past two decades, amyloids, typically associated with human diseases, have been
described to play various functional roles in nearly all life forms. The structural and functional …
