      Structural Biology of Amyloid Fibrils is a comprehensive reference on the structure of protein aggregates in different neurodegenerative diseases and their molecular bases. Chapters describe these structures in detail, highlighting their similarities and differences across different disease states, alongside an unprecedented overview of current developments and new hypotheses emerging in amyloid fibril structure, stability and mechanisms of formation. This volume also discusses how amyloid structure may affect the ability of fibrils to spread to different sites in a prion-like manner, as well as their role in disease. Featuring chapters on NMR, X-ray crystallography, and Cryo-EM methods, and discussing the structure of amyloid fibrils obtained directly from patients, the book allows readers to understand how polymorphism is associated with disease phenotype and how fibril structure affects and influences the cellular environment. Understanding the molecular architecture of amyloid fibrils and oligomers will be an important step towards developing therapeutic interventions based on targeting the fibrils and oligomers themselves, or the processes that generate them.

      Theoretical and Physical Chemistry of Triel Bonding: Properties, Mechanisms, and Catalysis explores triel and their compounds, providing a detailed analysis of their molecular and electronic structures, areas often disputed and controversial. It offers a comprehensive description and explanation, emphasizing the unique differences between boron and heavier triel atoms. Key sections cover theoretical foundations, types of interactions, and examples of triel bonds and their characteristics. Additionally, the book highlights triel elements functioning as catalysts and boron compounds in hydrogen storage. Designed for advanced students and researchers in physical or theoretical/computat... chemistry, it will also interest organic and inorganic chemists.Compounds of boron and other triel centres have been the subject of numerous studies for a long time, with their properties well-known and frequently discussed. However, the more detailed characteristics of triel compounds have not been well analyzed in existing research and their molecular and electronic structures have often been the subject of dispute and controversy. Triel bonds as a thematic area have garnered significant interest in recent years and this book provides a much broader description and explanation of their properties and characteristics than has previously been available, discussing aspects which are unique to triel bonds such as the differences between boron and the heavier triel atoms.

      This volume reviews the preparation, structures, physicochemical properties and applications of graphite fluorides, mainly based on the results obtained by the authors. Their interest in graphite fluorides stemmed from research on the ``anode effect'', in electrolytic production of fluorine gas in KF.2HF melt using carbon electrodes.The formation of a thin graphite fluoride film on carbon anodes made it difficult to continue the electrolysis of KF.2HF at a high current density. To elucidate this phenomenon studies on graphite fluoride were initiated. In the course of these systematic studies, the use of graphite fluoride in high-energy batteries became successful: a new graphite fluoride (C2F)n was found; and another fluorineographite intercalation compound with ionic bonding, CxF, was synthesized. During this research it was established that CxF is closely associated with the ``anode effect''.The book will be of interest to all those involved in the study and research of graphite fluorides, particularly fluorine chemists, electrochemists, and fluorine and battery companies.
