6. alpha-synuclein: amyloid fibrils and interactions with lipid membranes
Sammanfattning : The second most common neurodegenerative disease, Parkinson’s disease, is linked with an amyloid forming protein, alpha-synuclein. Hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease are progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and accumulation of intraneuronal inclusions termed Lewy bodies. LÄS MER
7. Secondary Nucleation in Amyloid Formation
Sammanfattning : Research into Alzheimer's disease is still hampered by a lack of fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms. While the aggregation of the amyloid β peptide (Aβ) into amyloid fibrils is highly implicated as a key factor in the disease, the molecular nature of its involvement has proven complex and elusive.

8. Conjugated Polymers, Amyloid Detection and Assembly of Biomolecular Nanowires
Sammanfattning : The research field of conjugated polymers has grown due to the optical and electronic properties of the material, useful in applications such as solar cells and printed electronics, but also in biosensors and for interactions with biomolecules. In this thesis conjugated polymers have been used in two related topics; to detect conformational changes in proteins and to assemble the polymers with biomolecules into nanowires. LÄS MER
9. Development of the Amyloid Fibril Characterisation Toolbox - New use for old dyes
Sammanfattning : Amyloid fibrils are self-assembled protein homopolymers that playcentral roles in the pathology of several human diseases, most notably in progressiveneurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In AD, fibrils areformed by the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, an enzymatic cleavage product that is naturallyproduced in human brain tissue. LÄS MER
10. Kinetic stabilization of transthyretin and its role as an inhibitor of Aβ amyloid formation
Sammanfattning : Amyloid formation occurs when normally soluble proteins and peptides misfold and aggregate into intractable threadlike structures called fibrils. There are currently more than 30 proteins associated with this aberrant structure, including the Aβ peptide in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and transthyretin (TTR) in TTR amyloidosis. LÄS MER
