Insect pest control in crop production incurs substantial economic costs annually on a global scale. Although broad-spectrum chemical pesticides were once considered the most effective solution, their overreliance has led to adverse effects on beneficial insects, human health, and the environment, as well as the development of pesticide-resistant insect populations. Consequently, there is an urgent need for alternative pest ma...

Proteins are vital for the regulation of several cellular functions, including the synthesis of structural components. The change in environmental conditions will impact conformational stability and result in aggregation. Protein aggregation involves different states of proteins, like nonnative, unfolded, and native states, which make them complex processes. The proper understanding of protein aggregation pathways involving th...
