Modelling the kinetics of amyloid fibril nucleation

A kinetic theory has been developed within the framework of preexisting nucleation theory and applied, for the first time, to investigate the one-step formation of amyloid fibrils. Atomistic Nucleation Theory (ANT) for fibrils, in particular, has been successfully applied to model real peptides and...
