Journal ArticleDOI

Binding of erucic acid with human serum albumin using a spectroscopic and molecular docking study.

TL;DR: In vitro interaction studies of EA with the primary plasma protein, human serum albumin, reveal a static mode of quenching with binding constant Kb ∼104 reflecting high affinity of EA for HSA and thermodynamic signatures of the HSA-EA interaction in the complex reflect dominance of hydrogen bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoparticles in relation to peptide and protein aggregation.

TL;DR: The effects of nanoparticles on protein and peptide fibrillation processes are explored from both perspectives (ie, as inducers and inhibitors on nucleation kinetics and in the disaggregation of preformed fibrils).
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin k3 inhibits protein aggregation: Implication in the treatment of amyloid diseases

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vitamin k3 significantly inhibits fibril formation as well as the inhibitory effect is dose dependent manner, paving the way for discovery of other small molecules that may exert similar effect against amyloid formation and its associated neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ascorbic acid inhibits human insulin aggregation and protects against amyloid induced cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ascorbic acid significantly inhibits the fibrillation of HI in a dose-dependent manner and Interestingly ascorBic acid destabilise the preformed amyloid fibrils and protects human neuroblastoma cell line (SH- SY5Y) against amyloids induced cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin B12 offers neuronal cell protection by inhibiting Aβ-42 amyloid fibrillation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vitamin B12 (VB), inhibits Aβ- 42 aggregation in a concentration dependent manner and also provide protection against amyloid induced cytotoxicity in human neuronal cell line.
