Protein fibrillation: the good, the bad and the ugly

Protein fibrillation is a process in which the peptide chains are slightly modified form native structure to yield fibers. The mechanism that leads to this fiber conformations is little known. An accepted hypothesis is the “entropic cone”, according to this hypothesis a pre-unfolded structure plays...

Se conoce poco acerca del mecanismo que conduce a estas conformaciones, una hipótesis difundida y aceptada es la del cono entrópico, según la cual una estructura pre-desplegada es crucial en el crecimiento de fibras. La fibrilación puede presentar ventajas en cuanto a que las proteínas así conformadas tienen cualidades aprovechables tecnológicamente. Por otra parte, si el proceso ocurre en tejidos podría generar enfermedades conocidas como amiloidosis. En la Universidad Antonio Nariño se han estudiado moléculas macrocíclicas tipo resorcinareno capaces de inhibir la fibrilación de algunas proteínas.application/pdfspaUNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑOhttps://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/saywa/article/view/674/574https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2REVISTA SAYWA; Vol. 1 Núm. 1 (2019)2744-85762711-1571Protein fibrillation: the good, the bad and the uglyFibrilación de proteínas: Lo bueno, lo malo y lo feoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDivulgación científicahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Segura, KarenMalagón, Edwin Andres123456789/11090oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/110902024-10-14 03:46:03.677metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co
