Multistep growth of amyloid intermediates and its inhibition toward exploring therapeutic way: A case study using insulin B chain and fibrinogen

It is crucial to understand the mechanism of amyloid fibril formation for the development of the therapeutic ways against amyloidoses and neurodegenerative diseases. Prefibrillar intermediates, which emerge prior to the fibril formation, seem to play a key role to the occurrence of nuclei of amyloid...
