Polyglutamine regions in proteins have been associated with protein aggregation and the development of serious neurodegenerative diseases. Using a bottom-up approach, the molecular properties of glutamine and single polyglutamine chains can be understood, providing a promising route to uncover the mechanisms of polyglutamine-related protein aggregation. In this article we highlight recent advances in the study of both glutamine and polyglutamine using novel biophysical tools. A recurring theme in these studies is the importance of hydrogen bonding in driving glutamine association.
