A Binding-Site Barrier Affects Imaging Efficiency of High Affinity Amyloid-Reactive Peptide Radiotracers In Vivo
Amyloid is a complex pathology associated with a growing number of diseases including Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and myeloma. The distribution and extent of amyloid deposition in body organs establishes the prognosis and can define treatment options; therefore, determining the amyloid load by using non-invasive molecular imaging is clinically important. We have ...
متن کاملShort polyglutamine peptide forms a high-affinity binding site for thioflavin-T at the N-terminus.
Thioflavin-T is one of the most important amyloid specific dyes and has been used for more than 50 years; however, the molecular mechanism of staining is still not understood. Chemically synthesized short polyglutamine peptides (Q(n), n = 5-10) were subjected to the thioflavin-T (ThT) staining assay. It was found that the minimum Q(n) peptide that stained positive to ThT was Q(6). Two types of ...
متن کاملCu2+ Affects Amyloid-β (1–42) Aggregation by Increasing Peptide-Peptide Binding Forces
The link between metals, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its implicated protein, amyloid-β (Aβ), is complex and highly studied. AD is believed to occur as a result of the misfolding and aggregation of Aβ. The dyshomeostasis of metal ions and their propensity to interact with Aβ has also been implicated in AD. In this work, we use single molecule atomic force spectroscopy to measure the rupture for...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Small D-Enantiomeric Alzheimer’s Amyloid-β Binding Peptide Ligand for Future In Vivo Imaging Applications
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating disease affecting predominantly the aging population. One of the characteristic pathological hallmarks of AD are neuritic plaques, consisting of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). While there has been some advancement in diagnostic classification of AD patients according to their clinical severity, no fully reliable method for pre-symptomatic diagnosis of AD is av...
متن کاملThe metal selectivity of a short peptide maquette imitating the high-affinity metal-binding site of E. coli HypB.
A seven-residue peptide based on the high-affinity metal-binding site of E. coli HypB maintains the nickel-binding activity of the full-length protein. The ability of the peptide to bind transition metals other than nickel was explored, and is discussed in the context of the function of HypB in hydrogenase biosynthesis.
