(57) Abstract :
The present invention belongs to the field of functional proteomics and more particularly to the field of protein aggregation. The
invention discloses a method for interfering with the function of a target protein and uses a non-naturally, user-designed molecule,
designated as interferor, that has a specificity for a target protein and which induces aggregation upon contact with said target protein.
The present invention also discloses such interferor molecules and their use in therapeutic applications.
