Researchers have developed a new computational method called AGGRESCAN3D which will allow studying the 3D structure of folded globular proteins and substantially improve the prediction of any propensity for forming toxic protein aggregates. With this new algorithm, proteins can also be modeled to study the pathogenic effects of the aggregation or redesign them for therapeutic means.
