Amyloid β Aggregation is Coupled to Cellular Metabolism and Intramitochondrial Proteostasis
As human lifespans grow longer due to advances in modern medicine, age-associated disorders characterised by peptide aggregation, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), become more prevalent. Research efforts have aimed to ... -
Viscous liquids in bubble columns
(1987)This dissertation is concerned with studies of highly viscous Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids in bubble columns with, and without, draft tubes. The importance of the parameters influencing bubble column reactors is ... -
Molecular analyses of YhcN/YlaJ and spore-associated proteins involved in germination of Bacillus cereus spores
Bacterial spores formed by members of the Bacillales are notable for their properties of dormancy and resistance to a range of physicochemical and biological factors that would kill their vegetative cellular counterparts. ... -
Methods for study and manipulation of protein self-assembly
The self-assembly of soluble proteins into amyloid aggregates is a mechanism which can be observed in processes that are functional or disease-associated. The resulting fibrillar structures can be formed from a variety of ...
