A common beta-sheet architecture underlies in vitro and in vivo beta(2)-microglobulin amyloid fibrils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Misfolding and aggregation of normally soluble proteins into amyloid fibrils and their deposition and accumulation underlies a variety of clinically significant diseases.

Inhibition by small-molecule ligands of formation of amyloid fibrils of an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Overproduction of immunoglobulin light chains leads to systemic amyloidosis, a lethal disease characterized by the formation of amyloid fibrils in patients' tissues. Excess light chains are in equilibrium between dimers and less stable monomers which can

The effects of Danggui-Shaoyao-San on neuronal degeneration and amyloidosis in mouse and its molecular mechanism for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
The abnormal deposition of the extracellular amyloid-β peptide is the typical pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Strategies to reduce the amyloid-β deposition effectively alleviate the neuronal degeneration and cognitive deficits of Alzheimer’s disease.

The relationship between amyloid structure and cytotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Self-assembly of proteins and peptides into amyloid structures has been the subject of intense and focused research due to their association with neurodegenerative, age-related human diseases and transmissible prion diseases in humans and mammals. Of the

Understanding the molecular mosaic of cardiotoxicity of light chains in plasma cell dyscrasias and cardiac light chain amyloidosis with the use of patient derived full-length light chains

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2022
Cardiac light chain amyloidosis (AL-CA) is a life-threatening disease and the major determinant of prognosis in AL amyloidosis. The management of heart failure (HF) in AL is challenging and gold standard therapies for HF are poorly tolerated or ...

Molecular dynamics study on the effects of charged amino acid distribution under low pH condition to the unfolding of hen egg white lysozyme and formation of beta strands.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Aggregation of unfolded or misfolded proteins into amyloid fibrils can cause various diseases in humans. However, the fibrils synthesized in vitro can be developed toward useful biomaterials under some physicochemical conditions. In this study, atomistic

Dissecting the Molecular Features of Systemic Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis: Contributions from Proteomics

open access: yesMedicina, 2021
Amyloidoses are characterized by aggregation of proteins into highly ordered amyloid fibrils, which deposit in the extracellular space of tissues, leading to organ dysfunction.

C-src Enriched Serum Microvesicles Are Generated in Malignant Plasma Cell Dyscrasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Plasma cell dyscrasias are immunosecretory disorders that can lead to hematological malignancies such as Multiple Myeloma (MM). MM accounts for 15% of all hematologic cancers, and those diagnosed with MM typically become severely ill and have a low life

Quantitative Assessment of Serine-8 Phosphorylated β-Amyloid Using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
The study of the molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is extremely important for identifying potential therapeutic targets as well as early markers. In this regard, the study of the role of post-translational modifications
