Abstract
The formation of amyloid fibrils from non-disease-related proteins demonstrates that any protein can adopt this "rogue" form; we show that it is possible to use protic ionic liquids to fibrilize hen egg white lysozyme, and then subsequently to dissolve the fibrils with up to 72% restoration of enzymatic activity.
