Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Studied effect of homotypic and heterotypic crowding on fibril rate and stability.•In mixed crowders fibril rate is comparable or slower than the individual crowders.•Crowders stabilize lysozyme and induce two-state unfolding at higher concentration.•Stability or fibril rate is not correlated with size or viscosity of the crowders.•Excluded volume and direct interactions contribute to changes induced by crowders.
