Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of different processes in human insulin amyloid formation.
Mauro Manno,Emanuela Fabiola Craparo,Alessandro Podestà,Donatella Bulone,Rita Carrotta,Vincenzo Martorana,Guido Tiana,Pier Luigi San Biagio +7 more
TL;DR: The experiments, along with the analysis of scattered intensity distribution, show that fibrillar aggregates grow following a thermally activated heterogeneous coagulation mechanism, which includes both tip-to-tip elongation and lateral thickening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Branching in Amyloid Fibril Growth
Christian Beyschau Andersen,Hisashi Yagi,Mauro Manno,Vincenzo Martorana,Tadato Ban,Gunna Christiansen,Daniel E. Otzen,Yuji Goto,Christian Rischel +8 more
TL;DR: Real-time observations of growing fibrils at a single-fibril level are presented, demonstrating the central role of fibril-dependent nucleation in amyloid fibrIL growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoreversible gelation of κ-Carrageenan: relation between conformational transition and aggregation
Maria Rosalia Mangione,Daniela Giacomazza,Donatella Bulone,Vincenzo Martorana,P.L. San Biagio +4 more
TL;DR: The full description of the sol-gel mechanism of this kappa-Carrageenan system can be useful in the search for new methods to control the gel texture, a relevant property for many industrial applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protofibril Formation of Amyloid β-Protein at Low pH via a Non-cooperative Elongation Mechanism
TL;DR: The observation of a non-cooperative aggregation pathway supports the hypothesis that amyloid formation may represent an escape route from a dangerous condition, induced by the presence of toxic oligomeric species.
Journal ArticleDOI
K(+) and Na(+) effects on the gelation properties of kappa-Carrageenan.
Maria Rosalia Mangione,Daniela Giacomazza,Donatella Bulone,Vincenzo Martorana,Gennara Cavallaro,P.L. San Biagio +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of K(+), Na(+) ions and their mixture on the conformational transition and macroscopic gel properties of kappa-Carrageenan system have been studied using different experimental techniques.
