  • Reference: Amyloidogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

    Published On: May 17, 2022

    Authors: Nystrom S, Hammarstrom P PMID: 35579205 PMCID: PMC9136918 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c03925 Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with a surprising number of morbidities. Uncanny similarities with amyloid-disease associated blood coagulation and fibrinolytic disturbances together with neurologic and cardiac problems led us to investigate the amyloidogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S-protein). Amyloid fibril assays of peptide [...]
