The deposition of highly ordered amyloid fibrils is recognized as a hallmark of amyloidosis diseases such as Alzheimer\'s disease and Parkinson\'s disease.Disaggregating the amyloid fibrils is considered as one of the effective strategies for the control and treatment of amyloidosis diseases.In this article,by simulating the function of natural molecular chaperones,co-assembled block copolymer micelles with coordination groups of nitrilotriacetic acid(NTA)and hydrophobic microdomains of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM)on the surface were used as nanochaperones(nChaps)to disaggregate amyloid insulin fibrils.Zinc ions chelated by NTA can bind the histidine imidazole residues while the PNIPAM microdomains can interact with the exposed hydrophobic sites on the amyloid insulin fibrils,which synergistically perturb the stability of amyloid insulin fibrils,loosen their structure,and finally promote their disaggregation.A combination of characterizations with fluorescence spec-troscopy,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),dynamic hight scattering(DLS),and quartz crystal microbalance(QCM)demonstrated that mature amyloid insulin fibrils were completely disaggregated after incubating with nChaps for 90 h.This study may provide a promising strategy for the development of nChaps for the treatment of amyloidosis diseases.

自新发展理念提出以来,经济绿色化、生态化发展成为衡量新时代我国经济高质量发展的重要标志.本文在运用SBM-Undesirable模型对长江经济带11个省市2010—2019年绿色经济效率测算的基础上,综合利用Tobit回归模型探究金融集聚、产业结构升级与绿色经济效率之间的相互关系.研究表明:长江经济带绿色经济效率高值区域多集中在上游和下游的发达地区,中部各省表现最差,多处于无效状态;从影响效应来看,金融集聚对绿色经济效率具有正向促进作用,而产业结构升级对绿色经济效率具有抑制效应;从金融集聚和产业结构的交互
金融赋能企业,科技赋能金融.企业金融资产一部分出于储蓄动机,而更多的是寻求超额收益.高管层对企业资源占据主导支配权,对资本类投资和主营业务投入做出关键性的决定,规划企业的未来格局,影响企业的战略差异.本文以上市公司A股非金融企业财务报表为原始数据,分别研究高管层薪酬激励和股权激励对企业金融化与战略差异的影响关系.结果显示:高管层薪酬激励有助于企业金融化与战略差异之间的正向关系,而高管层股权激励有抑制企业金融化与战略差异之间的正向联系.在企业的管理经营中,我们在对高管层激励上不仅要考虑短期的薪酬激励,还要充
