Inhibiting amyloid development using natural compounds: a molecular dynamics study
Dr P Mulheran, Dr V A Ferro
Applications accepted all year round
Amyloid fibrils are highly ordered protein aggregates associated with many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Flavanoids, which are polyphenols such as curcumin present in the human diet, have been shown to inhibit fibril formation in tau protein which is abundant in neurons.
