Impact of amphiphilic peptide dendrimers on proteins self-assembly

Zofia Lipkowska

Institute of Organic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences

Prof. Zofia Lipkowska is a leader of organic synthesis/crystallography group at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Her research interests cover synthesis and characteristics of peptide dendrimers for medical applications and solid materials chemistry and structure. Recent studies involve designing amphiphilic dendrimeric peptides interacting with pathology of the nervous system.

Abstract

Introduction. Improper peptide/protein folding followed by fibrillation is regarded a main reason of neurodegenerative diseases. For this reason major efforts have been achieved to find molecules that can inhibit or interfere... [ view full abstract ]
