2/5 "#Uncanny #similarities with #amyloid-#disease associated #blood #coagulation and #fibrinolytic #disturbances together with #neurologic and #cardiac problems led us to investigate the #amyloidogenicity of the #SARSCoV2 #spike #protein (#S-protein)."
3/5 "#Amyloid #fibril #assays of peptide library mixtures and theoretical predictions identified seven #amyloidogenic #sequences within the S-protein."
