Cutting-edge Research: Researchers at IPHT Analyze Protein Fibers with a Precision That Has Never Been Seen Before
Diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and certain types of cancer can be traced back to the deficient folding and aggregation of proteins in the body. Research scientists at the Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT) in Jena have detected and spectroscopically analyzed protein structures at the submolecular level successfully for the first time. This is an important step in understanding the cause of such diseases. [The PDF below contains the full German press release]
