Silver nanoparticles are powerful antimicrobial agents. Here, the synthesis of silver chloride
nanoparticles (AgCl-NPs) was consistently evidenced from a commercially valuable …

In transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, the infectious material consists chiefly of a
protein, the scrapie prion protein PrP Sc , that carries no genetic coding material; however, …

Here, we provide the first evidence of yeast strains assisted Ag/AgCl-NPs production in vitro.
The formed nanoparticles were characterized by spectroscopic and electron microscopy …

The main hypothesis for prion diseases proposes that the cellular protein (PrP C ) can be
altered into a misfolded, β-sheet-rich isoform (PrP Sc ), which undergoes aggregation and …

Protein–nucleic acid interactions are crucial for a variety of fundamental biological processes
such as replication, transcription, restriction, translation and virus assembly. The molecular …

Transthyretin (TTR) is a carrier protein involved in human amyloidosis. The development of
small molecules that may act as TTR amyloid inhibitors is a promising strategy to treat these …

Protein misfolding has been implicated in a large number of diseases termed protein- folding
disorders (PFDs), which include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, transmissible …

Transthyretin (TTR) is a tetrameric β-sheet-rich transporter protein directly involved in human
amyloid diseases. It was recently found that the isoflavone genistein (GEN) potently inhibits …

The prion protein (PrP) is the major agent implicated in the diseases known as transmissible
spongiform encephalopathies. The onset of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy is …
