FEBS Letters issue on Protein Misfolding and Disease

I just learned that the 20 August 2009 issue of FEBS Letters, devoted to "Protein Folding, Misfolding and Disease," is open-access, free for download.

At the moment, I'm reading The role of molecular chaperones in human misfolding diseases [PDF] by Sarah A. Broadley and F. Ulrich Hartl of the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry. It's a good overview of the subject, with 107 references, mostly from 2002 on.

Anxious to look at several other papers, in particular:
