- Scientists have successfully fabricated a 2D protein monolayer using lysozyme molecules.
- It serves as a model protein for understanding diseases like Amyloidosis.
- This research not only paves the way for a more profound comprehension of Amyloidosis but also establishes a versatile platform for probing disease mechanisms.
- Lysozyme is a naturally occurring enzyme found in various bodily secretions like tears, saliva, mucus.
- It plays a crucial role in the body's defence system against bacteria.
- Amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by the accumulation of a protein called amyloid in various organs.
- This buildup can adversely affect the functioning of vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system, and digestive tract, ultimately leading to multi-organ dysfunction.
