Role of Protein Misfolding and Proteostasis Deficiency in Protein Misfolding Diseases and Aging [PDF]
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2013 The misfolding, aggregation, and tissue accumulation of proteins are common events in diverse chronic diseases, known as protein misfolding disorders.

Protein Misfolding and Human Disease [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2002 Protein folding is perhaps the most fundamental process associated with the generation of functional structures in biology. There has been considerable progress in the last few years in understanding the underlying principles that govern this highly complex process.

Protein Misfolding Thermodynamics [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2019 It is known that protein misfolding is governed by the hydrophobic effect of solutes at hydrophobic amino acid side chains. The hydrophobic force of nonaqueous solutes acts as a driving force for the spatial rearrangement of protein side chains, whose structural transitions need to be regulated in both time and space.

Oxidative Stress-Induced Misfolding and Inclusion Formation of Nrf2 and Keap1
Antioxidants, 2022 Cells that experience high levels of oxidative stress respond by inducing antioxidant proteins through activation of the protein transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

Protein Misfolding and Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 2008 A key molecular pathway implicated in diverse neurodegenerative diseases is the misfolding, aggregation, and accumulation of proteins in the brain. Compelling evidence strongly supports the hypothesis that accumulation of misfolded proteins leads to synaptic dysfunction, neuronal apoptosis, brain damage, and disease.

Protein Misfolding and the Serpinopathies [PDF]
Prion, 2007 The serpins are the largest superfamily of protease inhibitors. They are found in almost all branches of life including viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They inhibit their target protease by a unique mechanism that involves a large conformational transition and the translocation of the enzyme from the upper to the lower pole of the protein.

Insights from nature: A review of natural compounds that target protein misfolding in vivo
Current Research in Biotechnology, 2020 Protein misfolding is fundamental to a number of human disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, prion diseases, Parkinson’s disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. To date, there are still no cures for protein misfolding disorders.
