摘要: Fibrils of amyloid proteins are currently great interest because their involvement in various amyloid-related diseases and nanotechnological products. In a recent kinetic Monte Carlo simulation study (Cabriolu, R.; Kashchiev, D.; Auer, S. J. Chem. Phys.2012, 137, 204903), we found that our data for the rate fibril nucleation occurring by direct polymerization monomeric protein could not be described adequately theory. It turned out process occurred peculiar way, thus confounding paradigm demanding new theoretical treatment. present study, reconsider approach to fibrils derive expressions stationary process. As these provide remarkably good description data, using them propose dependence amyloid-β40 on concentration solution. This dependence...
