Amyloids are protein aggregates with a highly ordered spatial structure giving them unique
physicochemical properties. Different amyloids not only participate in the development of …

Despite extensive study, progress in elucidation of biological functions of amyloids and their
role in pathology is largely restrained due to the lack of universal and reliable biochemical …

The concept of "protein-based inheritance" defines prions as epigenetic determinants that
cause several heritable traits in eukaryotic microorganisms, such as Saccharomyces …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram-positive soil bacteria that infects invertebrates,
predominantly of Arthropoda phylum. Due to its immense host range Bt has become a leading …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a natural pathogen of different invertebrates, primarily insects, is
widely used as a biological control agent. While Bt-based preparations are claimed to be …

The role of genetic exchanges, ie, homologous recombination (HR) and horizontal gene
transfer (HGT), in bacteria cannot be overestimated for it is a pivotal mechanism leading to their …

Amyloids are β-sheets-rich protein fibrils that cause neurodegenerative and other incurable
human diseases affecting millions of people worldwide. However, a number of proteins is …

Amyloids are unbranched protein fibrils with a characteristic spatial structure. Although the
amyloids were first described as protein deposits that are associated with the diseases, today …

The search for novel pathological and functional amyloids represents one of the most important
tasks of contemporary biomedicine. Formation of pathological amyloid fibrils in the aging …

Amyloids are protein fibrils with characteristic spatial structure. Though amyloids were long
perceived to be pathogens that cause dozens of incurable pathologies in humans and …
