Overview
- Explains how protein misfolding is an important biological phenomenon underlying over 20 major human diseases
- Shows that Lipids importantly influence protein misfolding and amyloid diseases
- Provides an up-to-date analysis of the roles of lipids in protein misfolding
- Discusses a wide array of proteins, lipids and their modes of interaction
- Focusses on the biophysical and structural properties of the interacting partners
- Complements the small collection of books on this topic in this rapidly developing field
Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (AEMB, volume 855)
