The formation of amyloid fibrils from non-disease-related proteins demonstrates that any protein can adopt this "rogue" form; we show that it is possible to use protic ionic liquids to fibrilize hen egg white lysozyme, and then subsequently to dissolve the fibrils with up to 72% restoration of enzymatic activity.
由非疾病相关蛋白质形成淀粉样纤维表明任何蛋白质都可以呈现这种“异常”形式;我们证明使用质子离子液体使鸡蛋清溶菌酶形成纤维,随后溶解这些纤维,酶活性恢复率高达72%是可行的。
