New Web Server Aids Research into Neurodegenerative Diseases

A team of researchers from Masaryk University & International Clinical Research Centre, and IT4Innovations at VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava have just launched AggreProt, a new web server that predicts protein aggregation propensity!
This user-friendly tool is now available for free to researchers worldwide, enabling them to identify regions in proteins that are prone to misfolding and some of them potentially leading to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
“With AggreProt, researchers can now accelerate their discoveries and move closer to developing effective treatments for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases,” adds Joan Planas-Iglesias from Loschmidt Laboratories.
The team is also currently verifying experimental designs of proteins with improved solubility within the project of National Institute Neur-IN.
