SynBio and the Boundaries between Functional and Pathogenic RepA-WH1 Bacterial Amyloids
mSystems, 2020 Amyloids are protein polymers that were initially linked to human diseases. Across the whole Tree of Life, many disease-unrelated proteins are now emerging for which amyloids represent distinct functional states.

Search and Identification of Amyloid Proteins
Methods and Protocols, 2023 Amyloids are fibrillar proteins with a cross-β structure. Pathological amyloids are associated with the development of a number of incurable diseases, while functional amyloids regulate vital processes. The detection of unknown amyloids in living objects

Amyloids: The History of Toxicity and Functionality
Biology, 2021 Proteins can perform their specific function due to their molecular structure. Partial or complete unfolding of the polypeptide chain may lead to the misfolding and aggregation of proteins in turn, resulting in the formation of different structures such ...
