The study of the aggregation of amyloid proteins is challenging. A new approach to processing dynamic light scattering data was developed and tested using aggregates of the well-known model Sup35NM amyloid. After filtering and calculating the moving averages of autocorrelation functions to reduce impacts of noise, each averaged autocorrelation function is converted to the fibril length distribution via numerical modeling. The processing results were verified using atomic force and scanning electron microscopy data. Analysis of fibril length distribution changes over time gives valuable information about the aggregation process.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D000067493 Dynamic Light Scattering An analytical technique for measuring particle size of molecules that are less than a micron in diameter dispersed or dissolved in a liquid. Quasi-Elastic Light Scattering (QELS),Light Scattering, Dynamic,Light Scattering, Quasi-Elastic (QELS),Quasi Elastic Light Scattering (QELS),Quasi-Elastic Light Scatterings (QELS),Scattering, Dynamic Light,Scattering, Quasi-Elastic Light (QELS),Scatterings, Quasi-Elastic Light (QELS)
D000682 Amyloid A fibrous protein complex that consists of proteins folded into a specific cross beta-pleated sheet structure. This fibrillar structure has been found as an alternative folding pattern for a variety of functional proteins. Deposits of amyloid in the form of AMYLOID PLAQUES are associated with a variety of degenerative diseases. The amyloid structure has also been found in a number of functional proteins that are unrelated to disease.

D016229 Amyloid beta-Peptides Peptides generated from AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES PRECURSOR. An amyloid fibrillar form of these peptides is the major component of amyloid plaques found in individuals with Alzheimer's disease and in aged individuals with trisomy 21 (DOWN SYNDROME). The peptide is found predominantly in the nervous system, but there have been reports of its presence in non-neural tissue.

D018625 Microscopy, Atomic Force A type of scanning probe microscopy in which a probe systematically rides across the surface of a sample being scanned in a raster pattern. The vertical position is recorded as a spring attached to the probe rises and falls in response to peaks and valleys on the surface. These deflections produce a topographic map of the sample.
