    Abstract : Protein stability is a property of high importance and is of interest in a variety of fields. It determines if a protein has its native fold and can be of influence in certain diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effect of DNAJB6 on α-synuclein amyloid fibril aggregation and dis-aggregation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Biofysikalisk kemi

    Author : Josef Getachew; [2023]
    Keywords : α-synuclein; alpha-synuclein; chaperones; DNAJB6; the unhappy chaperone; parkinsons disease; biophysical chemistry; biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Amyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases.

  6. 5. Parkinson’s disease tremor assessment: Leveragingsmartphones for symptom measurement

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DVMT)

    Author : Malek Abdul Sater; Reem Mohamed; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, chronic neurodegenerative disorder that impacts patients' quality of life. Hand tremor is a hallmark motor symptom of PD. However, current clinical tremor assessment methods are time-consuming and expensive and may not capture the full extent of tremor fluctuations. READ MORE
