This book presents current research from across the globe in the study of protein aggregation, including the processes of protein aggregation induced by freezing and lyophilization; functional amyloids; thermally induced aggregation of a model system protein - insulin; the aggregation of albumin; synucleins implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and some forms of cancer; yeast protein aggregates; and the folding and aggregation features of proteins. 410 0$aProtein science and engineering. 410 0$aMicrobiology research advances series. 606 $aProteins$xDenaturation 606 $aProtein folding 615 0$aProteins$xDenaturation. 615 0$aProtein folding. 676 $a572/.633 701 $aStein$b Douglas A$01872078 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973674103321 996 $aProtein aggregation$94481125 997 $aUNINA
