2SGP Physicochemical analyses of structural dynamics for amyloid and gel

Thu. Sep 29, 2022 1:50 PM - 4:20 PM Room G (Hakodate Citizen Hall Small HallA)

Disease-associated proteins often form apparently rigid aggregates such as amyloids and gels. Interestingly, however, recent studies have found that amyloids and gels are not the final dead-end products of proteins, but rather undergo dynamic structural changes by cellular proteins and environmental factors, which potentially provide great impacts on cellular phenotypes. However, compared to static structures of amyloids and gels, the details of their dynamic structural changes remain poorly understood. In this symposium, we would like to share and discuss the latest findings that clarify the structural dynamics of amyloids and gels by physicochemical analyses through the development of new technologies, and contribute to further advances of the research field.
