Zinc metalloproteinases and amyloid Beta-Peptide metabolism : the positive side of proteolysis in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2011 Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by an accumulation of toxic amyloid beta- (Aβ-)peptides in the brain causing progressive neuronal death.

Structural Studies of Cystatin B Amyloid Fibre and Oligomer [PDF]
, 2013 Amyloid fibres are characteristic of over 25 degenerative human diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Amyloid fibres are insoluble, highly stable, ordered cross-β sheet structures, which form as a result of conformational change and ...

The copper-amyloid-beta-peptide complex of Alzheimer’s disease: affinity, structure, fibril formation and toxicity [PDF]
, 2010 PhDSenile plaques of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients are composed primarily of the amyloid-β-peptide peptide (Aβ), and within these plaques Cu2+ ions are found concentrated and directly bound to Aβ.

Small-angle X-ray scattering characterization of a $$\beta $$ β -amyloid model in phantoms
BMC Research Notes, 2020 Objective We present a method to prepare an amyloid model at scalable quantities for phantom studies to evaluate small-angle x-ray scattering systems for amyloid detection. Two amyloid models were made from a plasma protein with and without heating. Both

The Roles of the Amyloid Beta Monomers in Physiological and Pathological Conditions
Biomedicines, 2023 Amyloid beta peptide is an important biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease, with the amyloidogenic hypothesis as one of the central hypotheses trying to explain this type of dementia.

Neurotoxicity of .BETA.-amyloid.
Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 2000 Recent observations on the neurotoxicity of beta-amyloid have been reviewed and possible roles of racemization of beta-amyloid are discussed. beta 1-40, beta 25-35 and D-Ser26 beta 25-35 (all HCl salt forms), but not commercially available beta 1-40 (TFA salt form), take the beta-structure within few hours in PBS, form fibrils, exert toxic effects on ...

Destruxin E Decreases Beta-Amyloid Generation by Reducing Colocalization of Beta-Amyloid-Cleaving Enzyme 1 and Beta-Amyloid Protein Precursor [PDF]
, 2009 Alzheimer-disease-associated beta-amyloid (A beta) is produced by sequential endoproteolysis of beta-amyloid protein precursor (beta APP): the extracellular portion is shed by cleavage in the juxtamembrane region by beta-amyloid-cleaving enzyme (BACE ...

Regulation of the metabolism of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein by contactin 5 and BIN1 [PDF]
, 2012 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive form of dementia, which currently has no cure. The metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is an important determinant in the development of AD.

Synapses, synaptic activity and intraneuronal Aβ in Alzheimer's disease
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2010 β-amyloid peptide accumulation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Aberrant β-amyloid buildup in the brain has been shown to be present both in the extracellular space and within neurons.
