AlphaFold 3: How Does Proteins Misfolding Cause Neurodegenerative Diseases?

SMRTR summary

Protein misfolding, a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases, may be influenced by electrical and chemical signals in neurons. Extended minimums or maximums in signal sets could affect neuronal proteins, potentially leading to misfolding and disease development in some cases. This theory suggests examining signal interactions and features as a possible path to understanding and preventing protein misfolding disorders.
