Abstract In biological and biomedical research, the focus progressively moves towards difficult human proteins, which often can only be expressed in higher eukaryotic cells. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) could contribute significantly to the understanding of important proteins as it is one of the most information‐rich methods.

Toxic mechanisms of amyloid oligomers and therapeutic strategies
Abstract Amyloid oligomers are increasingly recognized as the major toxic contributors across protein‐misfolding disorders. In this review, we cover mechanistic evidence showing how these transient and structurally heterogeneous oligomers disrupt cellular homeostasis by: (i) permeabilizing lipid membranes and forming ion‐conducting pores; (ii ...

Sequence‐Modulated Active Tripeptide Condensates for Tandem Catalysis
Sequence‐modulated tripeptide coacervates mimic biomolecular condensates with controllable, enzyme‐regulated phase separation. They co‐sequester hydrophobic active species and hydrophilic enzymes, enabling tandem catalysis in aqueous media. Incorporated into artificial cells, they function as adaptive sub‐organelles, orchestrating compartmentalized ...

Abstract Oligomeric assemblies of amyloidogenic proteins, such as Aβ, tau, α‐synuclein, amylin, transthyretin, and TDP‐43, are increasingly recognized as key drivers of cellular dysfunction across a range of neurodegenerative and systemic disorders.

Abstract Alpha‐synuclein (αSyn) is a presynaptic protein associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. While the non‐amyloid component (NAC) region of the αSyn sequence (residues 65–90) forms the core of all αSyn fibrils, recent findings suggest that the flanking regions play a key role in initiating or preventing amyloid formation. Two motifs in

Abstract TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) is a nucleic acid‐binding protein that regulates processes of mRNA metabolism, during which it undergoes condensation mediated by its C‐terminal low‐complexity domain (TDP‐43LCD). TDP‐43 aggregation and condensation are associated with neurodegenerative disease.
