Macromolecular Crowding as a Suppressor of Human IAPP Fibril Formation and Cytotoxicity
The biological cell is known to exhibit a highly crowded milieu, which significantly influences protein aggregation and association processes. As several cell degenerative diseases are related to the self-association and fibrillation of amyloidogenic peptides, understanding of the impact of macromol...
