Amyloid aggregation is associated with many diseases and may also occur in therapeutic protein formulations. Addition of co-solutes a key strategy to modulate the stability proteins pharmaceutical formulations select inhibitors for drug design context diseases. However, heterogeneous nature this multicomponent system terms structures mechanisms poses number challenges analysis chemical reaction. Using insulin as polysorbate 80 co-solute, we combine spatially resolved fluorescence approach...

De novo designed protein supramolecular structures are nowadays attracting much interest as highly performing biomaterials. While a clear advantage is provided by the intrinsic biocompatibility and biodegradability of peptide building blocks, developing sustainable green bottom up approaches for finely tuning material properties still remains challenge. Here, we present an experimental study on formation microparticles in form particulates from α-lactalbumin using bulk mixing water solution...

Protein misfolding in the form of fibrils or spherulites is involved a spectrum pathological abnormalities. Our current understanding protein aggregation mechanisms has primarily relied on use spectrometric methods to determine average growth rates and diffraction-limited microscopes with low temporal resolution observe large-scale morphologies intermediates. We developed REal-time kinetics via binding Photobleaching LOcalization Microscopy (REPLOM) super-resolution method directly quantify...

To understand how the stabilities of key nuclei fragments affect protein folding dynamics, we simulate by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in aqueous solution four cut out a G, including one α-helix (seqB: KVFKQYAN), two β-turns (seqA: LNGKTLKG and seqC: YDDATKTF), β-strand (seqD: DGEWTYDD). The Markov State Model clustering method combined with coarse-grained conformation letters are employed to analyze data sampled from 2-μs equilibrium MD trajectories. We find that seqA seqB have more...

Abstract Amyloid protein aggregates are not only associated with neurodegenerative diseases and may also occur as unwanted by-products in protein-based therapeutics. Surfactants often employed to stabilize formulations reduce the risk of aggregation. However, surfactants alter protein-protein interactions thus modulate physicochemical characteristics any formed. Human insulin aggregation was induced at low pH presence varying concentrations surfactant polysorbate 80. Various spectroscopic...
