Significant evidence has been accumulated linking exposure to heavy metals and/or
distortion of metal homeostasis with the development of various neurodegenerative …

Alpha-synuclein (αS) is an extensively studied protein due to its involvement in a group of
neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson′ s disease, and its documented ability to …

Protein amyloid nanofibers provide a biocompatible platform for the development of
functional nanomaterials. However, the functionalities generated up to date are still limited …

Heterogeneous catalysts are used in many industrial processes. Here, we report a simple
method for a template-assisted synthesis of nanoparticle catalysts and for testing their …

With the enhancement of bone-tissue regeneration technologies, there is an increment
request for perfect bio-ceramic scaffolds with multifunctional properties, including high …

The development of nanoparticles has greatly improved the catalytic properties of metals
due to the higher surface to volume ratio of smaller particles. The production of …

Amyloids are highly ordered nanofibrils and their tensile strength is similar to that of steel,
which makes them resistant to extreme pH and temperature. Based on this rationale, we …

The intrinsically disordered human α-synuclein (αSyn) protein exhibits considerable
heterogeneity in in vitro fibrillization reactions. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) we …

The role of metal ions in protein folding and structure is a critical topic to a range of scientists
in numerous fields, particularly those working in structural biology and bioinorganic …

Purified proteins offer a homogeneous population of biological nanoparticles, equipped in
many cases with specific binding sites enabling the directed self-assembly of envisaged one …
