[HTML][HTML] Flanking regions, amyloid cores, and polymorphism: the potential interplay underlying structural diversity

AA Bhopatkar, R Kayed - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2023 - ASBMB
The β-sheet–rich amyloid core is the defining feature of protein aggregates associated with
neurodegenerative disorders. Recent investigations have revealed that there exist multiple …

Role of conformational dynamics in pathogenic protein aggregation

X Sun, HJ Dyson, PE Wright - Current opinion in chemical biology, 2023 - Elsevier
The accumulation of pathogenic protein oligomers and aggregates is associated with
