Protein misfolding and aggregation is observed in many amyloidogenic diseases affecting
either the central nervous system or a variety of peripheral tissues. Structural and dynamic …

The transition of peptides and proteins from the solution phase into fibrillar structures is a
general phenomenon encountered in functional and aberrant biology and is increasingly …

Classical nucleation and crystal growth theories describe how nuclei form, become stable
after reaching a critical size and then enlarge through monomer attachment. More than two …

Protein folding involves a large number of steps and conformations in which the folding
protein samples different thermodynamic states characterized by local minima. Kinetically …

The self‐assembly of several classes of amphiphilic peptides is reviewed, and selected
applications are discussed. We discuss recent work on the self‐assembly of lipopeptides …

The self‐assembly of different classes of peptide, including cyclic peptides, amyloid peptides
and surfactant‐like peptides into nanotube structures is reviewed. The modes of self …

In the miniaturization of manufactured goods, the practical limits of what can be achieved
when engineering from the “top down” are being approached.(1-9) Despite the continuing …

Self-shaping of curved structures, especially those involving flexible thin layers, is attracting
increasing attention because of their broad potential applications in, eg …

The origins of life likely required the cooperation among a set of molecular species
interacting in a network. If so, then the earliest modes of evolutionary change would have …

The aggregation of monomeric amyloid β protein (Aβ) peptide into oligomers and amyloid
fibrils in the mammalian brain is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Insight into the …
