Protein Misfolding and Aggregation

Biotechnology Progress, 2008
Interest in the problem of protein misfolding and aggregation has exploded in recent years for two reasons: (1) the sharp rise in the number and volume of therapeutic proteins produced commercially and (2) the recognition of the central role of protein aggregates in degenerative diseases.

Protein Misfolding: Optional Barriers, Misfolded Intermediates, and Pathway Heterogeneity

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2004
To investigate the character and role of misfolded intermediates in protein folding, a recombinant cytochrome c without the normally blocking histidine to heme misligation was studied. Folding remains heterogeneous as in the wild-type protein. Half of the population folds relatively rapidly to the native state in a two-state manner.

The Misfolding of Proteins

2020
Protein folding is considered strongly linked with genetics. The deeper understanding of the mechanisms that allow the folding of proteins is expected to lead to advances in the pharmaceutical sector. The shape of a protein dictates its biological activity, and any exceptions from its natural form can lead to diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's ...

Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification

2012
Prion diseases are caused by a conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) to a pathological conformer (PrPSc). The “prion-only” hypothesis suggests that PrPSc is the infectious agent that propagates the disease acting as a template for the conversion of PrPC.

Proteomics in protein misfolding diseases

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2009
Protein misfolding and deposition as amyloid, with consequent tissue damage, plays a key role in the group of diseases generically termed amyloidoses. In the systemic forms, amyloid deposition is widespread and causes severe dysfunction of vital organs.
