"This book addresses molecular mechanisms of protein misfolding and the role of lipids
and related molecules in these complex processes. The focus is on the biophysical
and structural studies of proteins that are involved in major human disorders such
as Alzheimer's disease, systemic amyloidoses, diabetes II, inflammation and atherosclerosis.
Misfolding often results from protein mutations or modifications. Misfolding of membrane
proteins can cause topological changes that target the proteins for degradation. Misfolding
of soluble globular proteins and peptides converts them into [beta]-sheet-rich aggregates
and amyloid fibrils. This process can disrupt the structural integrity of the lipid
membranes and thereby contribute to amyloid toxicity. In turn, lipids and lipid-associated
molecules such as apolipoproteins and heparan sulfate proteoglycans, which are ubiquitous
constituents of amyloid plaques, can influence protein misfolding via diverse mechanisms
that are addressed in this book. The book features chapters describing the role of
lipids in the misfolding of a wide range of proteins, including small peptides, globular
proteins, lipid surface-binding proteins, and integral membrane proteins. The role
of individual lipid molecules, lipid surfaces, and the membrane field is addressed,
including specific and non-specific interactions with protein oligomers and mature
fibrils. Distinct effects of various lipids on the nucleation and growth of amyloid
fibrils are discussed. Modern computational approaches to the analysis of amyloid
formation are addressed. The book should be useful to experts in the field but is
also accessible to novices"--Back cover
