## Abstract Amyloid fibrils are deposited in a number of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Type 2 diabetes, and the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE). These insoluble deposits are formed from normally soluble proteins that assemble to form fibrous aggregates that accumulate in

## Abstract Although spider silks have been studied for decades, the assembly properties of the underlying silk proteins have still not been unravelled. Previously, the detection of amyloid‐like nanofibrils in the spider's silk gland suggested their involvement in the assembly process. Recombinant

## Abstract Macromolecular crowding is expected to have several significant effects on protein aggregation; the major effects will be those due to excluded volume and increased viscosity. In this report we summarize data demonstrating that macromolecular crowding may lead to a dramatic acceleration

## Abstract Caspase‐activated DNase (CAD) is a key protein in the process of apoptosis that degrades DNA through the action of caspases. Its N‐terminal region, the CAD domain (CAD‐CD), is highly conserved among CAD family proteins and is responsible for the interaction with its inhibitor. We report
