Abstract

A large and diverse number of diseases are now recognized as 'conformational diseases', caused by adoption of non-native protein conformations that lead to aggregation. The recent conference, 'Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency and other conformational diseases', held in Airlie, Virginia, USA (27-30 June, 2000) focused on some of the common pathways by which cells protect themselves from toxicity associated with protein misfolding and aggregation.
