Most neurodegenerative diseases are proteinopathies, which are characterized by the
aggregation of misfolded proteins. Although many proteins have an intrinsic propensity to …

Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a peptide of 39–43 amino acids found in large amounts and forming
deposits in the brain tissue of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). For this reason, it has …

The interactions between peptides and lipids are of fundamental importance in the
functioning of numerous membrane-mediated cellular processes including antimicrobial …

We review work on the paramagnetic amino acid 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-N-oxyl-4-amino-4-
carboxylic acid, TOAC, and its applications in studies of peptides and peptide synthesis …

The amyloid β peptide aggregates to form extracellular plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's
disease patients. Certain of its fragments have been found to have similar properties to …

Spin‐probe and spin‐label techniques were used to study the interactions of the Aβ 1–28
peptide involved in Alzheimer disease and the PrP 106–126 peptide suspected to be …

ABSTRACT High‐affinity Ca2+ transport ATPases play a crucial role in controlling cytosolic
Ca2+. The amyloid β‐peptide (Aβ) is a neurotoxic agent found in affected neurons in …

A broad biophysical analysis was performed to investigate the molecular basis of the
neuroprotective action of Curcuma longa extracts in Alzheimer's disease. By combining …

There is mounting evidence that the lipid matrix of neuronal cell membranes plays an
important role in the accumulation of β-amyloid peptides into senile plaques, one of the …

Background: For long time Alzheimer's disease has been attributed to a cholinergic deficit.
More recently, it has been considered dependent on the accumulation of the amyloid beta …
