This volume summarizes recent achievements in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of conformational diseases. Research indicates that these mechanisms are highly diverse and range from the altered protein structure leading to the enhanced propensity for aggregation/deposition or the impaired functions and ending with changes in supra-molecular structures or posttranslational modification.
