  1. The original theory for protein polymerization was established on actin molecule by Dr. Osawa. He said that the first nucleation step is the rate-determinant reaction while the second elongation step is relatively fast. This was applied to microtubule, amyloid and now to tau. Tau dimer may be important for seeding [PHFs].
