Amyloid fibrils—nanoscale fibrillar aggregates with high levels of order—are pathogenic in some today incurable human diseases; however, there are also many physiologically functioning amyloids in nature. The process of amyloid formation is typically nucleation‐elongation‐dependent, as exemplified by the pathogenic amyloid‐β peptide (Aβ) that is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Spider silk, one...
Spider Silk Proteins
Both spider silk protein and Alzheimer's disease associated amyloid‐β peptide can assemble into silk‐like fibers that consist of nanofibrils. Spider silk proteins' unique primary structures have evolved to allow functional amyloid‐like properties and direct their fibrillization pathways to avoid formation of cytotoxic intermediates. More details can be found in article number...
