Gallic acid oxidation products alter the formation pathway of insulin amyloid fibrils
Abstract Amyloidogenic protein assembly into insoluble fibrillar aggregates is linked with several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, affecting millions of people worldwide. The search for a potential anti-amyloid drug has led to the discovery of hundreds of com...
