The aggregation of a polypeptide chain into amyloid fibrils and their accumulation and
deposition into insoluble plaques and intracellular inclusions is the hallmark of several …

Proteins generally will tend to aggregate under a variety of environmental conditions in
comparison with small drug molecules. The extent of aggregation is dependent on many …

Photo-induced damage to proteins occurs via multiple pathways. Direct damage induced by
UVB (λ 280–320 nm) and UVA radiation (λ 320–400 nm) is limited to a small number of …

Focus a laser on dissolved particles and analyze the scattered light to reveal their size. This
well established principle is used in dynamic light scattering (DLS), or also called photon …

Amyloid fibrils are self‐assembled fibrous protein aggregates that are associated with a
number of presently incurable diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease …

The effects of ultraviolet/persulfate (UV/PS) pretreatment on ultrafiltration (UF) membrane
fouling caused by typical natural organic matter (NOM) fractions including humic acid (HA) …

This report advances the hypothesis that multifunctional systems may be associated with
multifunnel potential and free energy landscapes, with particular focus on biomolecules. It …

Genetic changes resulting in increased life span are often positively associated with
enhanced stress resistance and somatic maintenance. A recent study found that certain long …

Prion diseases are transmissible encephalopathies associated with the conversion of the
physiological form of the prion protein (PrPC) to the disease-associated (PrPSc). Despite …

Hydrophobic polyphenols, with a variety of physiological activities, are often practically
limited due to their low water solubility and chemical instability, among which curcumin (Cur) …
