The contribution of biophysical and structural studies of protein self-assembly to the design of therapeutic strategies for amyloid diseases

Many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and the prion diseases, are characterized by a conformational conversion of normally soluble proteins or peptides into pathological species, by a process of misfolding and self-assembly that leads ultimately to the format...
