Aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) by self-assembly into oligomers or amyloids is a central event
in Alzheimer's disease. Coordination of transition-metal ions, mainly copper and zinc, to Aβ …

Calcium and iron play crucial roles in human health, deficiencies of which have globally
generated public health risks. The poor solubility, low bioavailability and gastrointestinal …

The coordination chemistry of transition metal ions (Fe, Cu, Zn) with the amyloid-β (Aβ)
peptides has attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to its repercussions in …

Copper (II) binding to the amyloid-β peptide has been proposed to be a key event in the
cascade leading to Alzheimer's disease. As a direct consequence, the strength of the Cu (II) …

Some biomolecules are well known for the complexation of heavy metals from wastewater:
cellulose, alginate, pectins, and starches for example. However, less used natural molecules …

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) were used to
study the interaction between Fe 2+ and the heptapeptide (SVNVPLY) from barley protein …

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a major Cu carrier in human blood and in cerebrospinal
fluid. A major assumption is that Cu bound to HSA is in the Cu (II) oxidation state; thus …

The histidine-rich salivary peptides of the histatin family are known to bind copper (Cu) and
other metal ions in vitro; however, the details of these interactions are poorly understood …

Metal-ion misregulation and oxidative stress have been linked to the progressive
neurological decline associated with multiple neurodegenerative disorders. Transition metal …

Along with aggregation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and subsequent deposit of amyloid
plaques, oxidative stress is an important feature in Alzheimer's disease. Cu bound to Aβ is …
