Abstract
Phospholipase A2 is a widely studied protein found ubiquitously in nature. The protein interacts with the lipid membrane cleaving the phospholipid at the sn-2 position. The interfacial activation mechanism is characterized by a low activity on monomeric substrates but a greatly enhanced activity on aggregated substrates. Several of our papers have elucidated the complex interfacial activation mechanism of this protein from different angles in two very diverse scientific frames: from the view of the lipid and the view of the protein. In this thesis the interfacial activation mechanism of PLA2 is understood to behave in a temporal sequence of events first by binding, dimer formation, oligomer formation and finally by the formation of amyloid-like fibrils.
