Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine protein aggregation is associated with a number of human pathologies including Alzheimer’s and Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases and the systemic amyloidoses. In presence of 15–25% (v/v) trifluoroethanol, enzyme forms aggregates able to bind specific dyes such as thioflavine T, Congo red, and 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonic acid. The monomeric form adopted by the enzyme prior to aggregation under these conditions retains enzymatic activity, in addition, folding was remarkably faster than unfolding. Electron microscopy reveals the presence of small aggregates generally referred to as amyloid protofibrils Saccharolobus solfataricus
