Phase Phenomena in Supported Lipid Films under Varying Electric Potential

Andrey V. Brukhno, Anna Akinshina, Zachary Coldrick +2

We model cyclic voltammetry experiments on supported lipid films where a non-trivial dependence of the capacitance on the applied voltage is observed. Previously, based on a mean-f…

Nucleation of amyloid fibrils

Dimo Kashchiev, Stefan Auer

We consider nucleation of amyloid fibrils in the case when the process occurs by the mechanism of direct polymerization of practically fully extended protein segments, i.e. beta-st…

Insight into the correlation between lag time and aggregation rate in the kinetics of protein aggregation

Stefan Auer, Dimo Kashchiev

Under favourable conditions, many proteins can assemble into macroscopically large aggregate's, Parkinson's and other neurological and systemic diseases. The overall process of pro…

Phase Diagram of alpha-Helical and beta-Sheet Forming Peptides

Stefan Auer, Dimo Kashchiev

The intrinsic property of proteins to form structural motifs such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets leads to a complex phase behavior in which proteins can assemble into various typ…

A Condensation-Ordering Mechanism in Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Peptide Aggregation

Stefan Auer, Antonio Trovato, Michele Vendruscolo

Nanoparticles introduced in living cells are capable of strongly promoting the aggregation of peptides and proteins. We use here molecular dynamics simulations to characterise in d…

Generic Mechanism of Emergence of Amyloid Protofilaments from Disordered Oligomeric aggregates

Stefan Auer, Filip Meersman, Christopher M. Dobson +1

The presence of oligomeric aggregates, which is often observed during the process of amyloid formation, has recently attracted much attention since it has been associated with neur…
