Protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils has been linked to multiple neurodegenerative disorders. Determining the kinetics of fibril formation, as well as their structural stability are important for the mechanistic understanding of amyloid aggregation. Tracking both fibril association and dissociation is usually performed by measuring light scattering of the solution or fluorescence of amyloid specific dyes, such as thioflavin-T. A possible addition to these methods is the recently discovered deep-blue autofluorescence (dbAF), which is linked to amyloid formation. In this work we explore the potential of this phenomenon to monitor amyloid fibril formation and dissociation, as well as show its possible relation to fibril size rather than amyloid structure.

Amyloid fibril formation is a shared property of all proteins; therefore, model proteins can be used to study this process. We measured protein aggregation of the model amyloid-forming protein stefin B in the presence and absence of several antioxidants. Amyloid fibril formation by stefin B was routinely induced at pH 5 and 10% TFE, at room temperature. The effects of antioxidants NAC, vitamin C, vitamin E, and the three polyphenols resveratrol, quercetin, and curcumin on the kinetics of fibril formation were followed using ThT fluorescence. Concomitantly, the morphology and amount of the aggregates and fibrils were checked by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The concentration of the antioxidants was varied, and it was observed that different modes of action apply at low or high concentrations relative to the binding constant. In order to obtain more insight into the possible mode of binding, docking of NAC, vitamin C, and all three polyphenols was done to the monomeric form of stefin B.
