Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a highly sensitive technique that provides complete information
on chemical compositions. The IR spectra of proteins or peptides give rise to nine …

Self-assembled peptide and protein amyloid nanostructures have traditionally been
considered only as pathological aggregates implicated in human neurodegenerative …

Abstract Staining with Congo Red (CR) is a qualitative method used for the identification of
amyloids in vitro and in tissue sections. However, the drawbacks and artefacts obtained …

Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

The formation of nanoscale amyloid fibrils from normally soluble peptides and proteins is a
common form of self-assembly phenomenon that has fundamental connections with …

Amyloids are insoluble protein fibrillar aggregates. The importance of characterizing their
aggregation has steadily increased because of their link to human diseases and material …

The aggregation of proteins is of fundamental relevance in a number of daily phenomena,
as important and diverse as blood coagulation, medical diseases, or cooking an egg in the …

The development of atomic force microscopy (AFM) has opened up a wide range of novel
opportunities in nanoscience and new modalities of observation in complex biological …

Systemic AL amyloidosis is a rare disease that is caused by the misfolding of
immunoglobulin light chains (LCs). Potential drivers of amyloid formation in this disease are …

To visualize amyloid β (Aβ) aggregates requires an uncontaminated and artifact-free
interface. This paper demonstrates the interface between graphene and pure water (verified …
