--- _id: '10361' abstract: - lang: eng text: Understanding how normally soluble peptides and proteins aggregate to form amyloid fibrils is central to many areas of modern biomolecular science, ranging from the development of functional biomaterials to the design of rational therapeutic strategies against increasingly prevalent medical conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. As such, there is a great need to develop models to mechanistically describe how amyloid fibrils are formed from precursor peptides and proteins. Here we review and discuss how ideas and concepts from chemical reaction kinetics can help to achieve this objective. In particular, we show how a combination of theory, experiments, and computer simulations, based on chemical kinetics, provides a general formalism for uncovering, at the molecular level, the mechanistic steps that underlie the phenomenon of amyloid fibril formation. acknowledgement: "We acknowledge support from the Swiss National Science Foundation (T.C.T.M.); Peterhouse,\r\nCambridge (T.C.T.M.); the Royal Society (A.S.); the Academy of Medical Sciences (A.S.); the\r\nWellcome Trust (A.S., M.V., C.M.D., T.P.J.K.); the Cambridge Centre for Misfolding Diseases\r\n(M.V., C.M.D., T.P.J.K.); the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (C.M.D.,\r\nT.P.J.K.); and the Frances and Augustus Newman Foundation (T.P.J.K.).
