a Cartoons summarizing the proposed fibrillation mechanism in the egg white proteome with and without the fibrillation agent ([Cho][Tos]) along with the circular dichroism spectra (double sided arrows (↔) in the acid denatured proteins indicate the interactions between different proteins). b Schematic representation of the formation of protein fibrils from the egg white proteome using [Cho][Tos], which interacts via hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and π-stacking interactions with different proteins to form oligomer intermediates and protein fibrils.
