Changes in protein structure and assembly with fluoride nanoparticles and coexisting ions - Science Daily

Scientists demonstrate the influence of nanoparticles and surrounding ions on the formation of beta-sheet structure in amyloid beta proteins.

Protein function and activity is determined by both their assembly and secondary structure. Abnormalities related to either protein aggregation or secondary structure can lead to neurodegenerative di… [+3884 chars]
