Improved understanding of amyloidogenic peptides and proteins such as prion proteins and Alzheimer's b peptides has attracted much attention to the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of such amyloidogenesis. As a representative, in the prion protein, the conformational transitions from a-helix

An improved understanding of protein misfolding is critical to the study of proteins involved in diseases such as Alzheimers and prion-related diseases, as well as to the clarification of the folding pathway of proteins. In general, hydrophobic clustering seems to be an important feature for peptide
