Effect of Surface Roughness on Aggregation of Polypeptide Chains: A Monte Carlo Study
The self-assembly of amyloidogenic peptides and proteins into fibrillar structures has been intensively studied for several decades, because it seems to be associated with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, understanding the molecular mech...
