Stochastic Kinetic Study of Protein Aggregation and Molecular Crowding Effects of Ab40 and Ab42

John Bridstrup, Jian-Min Yuan, John S. Schreck

Two isoforms of beta amyloid peptides, Ab40 and Ab42, differ from each other only in the last two amino acids, IA, at the end of Ab42. They, however, differ significantly in their…

Stochastic kinetic treatment of protein aggregation and the effects of macromolecular crowding

John Bridstrup, John S Schreck, Jesse L Jorgenson +1

Investigation of protein self-assembly processes is important for the understanding of the growth processes of functional proteins as well as disease-causing amyloids. Inside cells…

A Kinetic Study of Amyloid Formation: Fibril Growth and Length Distributions

John S. Schreck, Jian-Min Yuan

We propose a kinetic model for the self-aggregation by amyloid proteins. By extending several well-known models for protein aggregation, the time evolution of aggregate concentrati…

A Statistical Mechanical Approach to Protein Aggregation

John S. Schreck, Jian-Min Yuan

We develop a theory of aggregation using statistical mechanical methods. An example of a complicated aggregation system with several levels of structures is peptide/protein self-as…

Exactly Solvable Model for Helix-Coil-Sheet Transitions in Protein Systems

John S. Schreck, Jian-Min Yuan

In view of the important role helix-sheet transitions play in protein aggregation, we introduce a simple model to study secondary structural transitions of helix-coil-sheet systems…
