Protein folding and disease
For proteins to function properly, they need to fold into the correct shape,
and protein misfolding is thought to underlie many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease, new variant CJD and type II diabetes. This meeting brought together an international panel of
experts to discuss current thinking on protein folding research, from basic cell biology to therapeutic
strategies for treating protein folding diseases.
