The amyloid beta peptide: a chemist's perspective. Role in Alzheimer's and fibrillization

IW Hamley - Chemical reviews, 2012 - ACS Publications
This review is concerned with the role of fibrillization of the amyloid β (Aβ)-peptide in
Alzheimer's disease (AD). The perspective is that of a physical chemist, and one aim is to …

Oligomeric intermediates in amyloid formation: structure determination and mechanisms of toxicity

M Fändrich - Journal of molecular biology, 2012 - Elsevier
Oligomeric intermediates are non-fibrillar polypeptide assemblies that occur during amyloid
fibril formation and that are thought to underlie the aetiology of amyloid diseases, such as …

[HTML][HTML] Critical aggregation concentration for the formation of early Amyloid-β (1–42) oligomers

M Novo, S Freire, W Al-Soufi - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
The oligomers formed during the early steps of amyloid aggregation are thought to be
responsible for the neurotoxic damage associated with Alzheimer's disease. It is therefore of …

Overview of Alzheimer's Disease and Some Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Aβ by Using Several Synthetic and Herbal Compounds

SK Singh, S Srivastav, AK Yadav… - Oxidative medicine …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex age‐related neurodegenerative disease. In this

Copper and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease

G Eskici, PH Axelsen - Biochemistry, 2012 - ACS Publications
Copper is a redox-active metal with many important biological roles. Consequently, its
distribution and oxidation state are subject to stringent regulation. A large body of …

Amyloid β 42 fibril structure based on small-angle scattering

V Lattanzi, I André, U Gasser… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Amyloid fibrils are associated with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including fibrils
of amyloid β42 peptide (Aβ42) in Alzheimer's disease. These fibrils are a source of toxicity to …

Stabilities and conformations of Alzheimer's β-amyloid peptide oligomers (Aβ1622, Aβ16–35, and Aβ1035): Sequence effects

B Ma, R Nussinov - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 - National Acad Sciences
Previously, we have studied the minimal oligomer size of an aggregate amyloid seed and
the mechanism of seed growth with a multilayer β-sheet model. Under high temperature …
