The toxicity of food additives is widely studied and concerns many consumers worldwide.
Synthetic food colors are often considered an unnecessary risk to consumer health. Since …

Amyloid fibrillogenesis of proteins is known to be the root cause of a large number of
diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's disease, spongiform …

Interaction of two food colorant dyes, amaranth and tartrazine, with lysozyme was studied
employing multiple biophysical techniques. The dyes exhibited hypochromic changes in the …

Proteins can form amyloid fibrils that are the cause of various degenerative diseases. In this
work, we have investigated the potential of a crown ether, 18-crown-6, to arrest fibrillation in …

Highlights•Maghemite nanoparticles (NPs) were surface-modified by dextran-based
polymers.•Insulin fibril formation was dose-dependently inhibited by surface-modified NPs.• …

Many proteins can abnormally fold to form pathological amyloid deposits/aggregates that
are responsible for various degenerative disorders called amyloidosis. Here we have …

Background Amyloid fibrils are associated with various degenerative diseases.
Considerable efforts have been made to hunt for the compounds that are able to inhibit …

More than thirty human proteins and/or peptides can fold incorrectly to form amyloid deposits
associated with several protein aggregation diseases. No cure is currently available for …

Roughing the metallic surface via oxidation–reduction cycles (ORC) to integrate the surface
plasmon resonance and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is predominant in …

Formation of amyloid fibrils has been associated with at least 30 different protein
aggregation diseases. The 129-residue polypeptide hen lysozyme, which is structurally …
