Abstract
Protein aggregation and amyloidogenesis are closely associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Elucidating the morphology and structure of the amyloid aggregates or fibrils is important for understanding the molecular mechanisms of these proteinopathies. This review article describes the general principle and establishment of solid-state circular dichroism (ssCD) spectroscopy, and discusses its application for the analysis of secondary structures of proteins or peptides in amyloids and structural transformation of these proteins or peptides during their amyloidogenic aggregation.
Keywords: Circular dichroism, Solid state, Protein amyloid, Secondary structure, Structural transformation.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
