Effect of Metals on Kinetic Pathways of Amyloid-β Aggregation
Metal ions, including copper and zinc, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease through a variety of mechanisms including increased amyloid-β affinity and redox effects. Recent reports have demonstrated that the amyloid-β monomer does not necessarily travel through a definitive intermediary en-route to a stable amyloid fibril structure. Rather, amyloid-β misfolding may fo...
متن کاملAmyloid β-Sheet Mimics that Antagonize Amyloid Aggregation and Reduce Amyloid Toxicity
The amyloid protein aggregation associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and type II diabetes (among many others) features a bewildering variety of β-sheet-rich structures in transition from native proteins to ordered oligomers and fibres. The variation in the amino-acid sequences of the β-structures presents a challenge to developing a model system of β-sheets for the study of...
متن کاملInhibition of Alzheimer's amyloid-β peptide aggregation and its disruption by a conformationally restricted α/β hybrid peptide.
Insertion of an anthranilic acid in an amyloidogenic peptide sequence generates a novel conformationally restricted α/β-hybrid peptide that inhibits amyloid formation of Aβ(1-40) and disrupts preformed fibrillar aggregates in vitro. Such β-sheet breaker hybrid peptides (BSBHps) may be useful for designing novel physiologically important compounds relevant to diverse amyloidoses and for studying...
متن کاملFeasibility of β-Sheet Breaker Peptide-H102 Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease Based on β-Amyloid Hypothesis
β-amyloid hypothesis is the predominant hypothesis in the study of pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. This hypothesis claims that aggregation and neurotoxic effects of amyloid β (Aβ) is the common pathway in a variety of etiological factors for Alzheimer's disease. Aβ peptide derives from amyloid precursor protein (APP). β-sheet breaker peptides can directly prevent and reverse protein misfol...
متن کاملthe geopolitics of afghanistan after september 11, 2001, and its impact on iranian national security
abstract u.s. attack to afghanistan after 9/11 provided opportunities for us who tried to become the dominant power after collapse of ussr and bipolar world. thinkers like fukuyama believed american liberal democrats thought would be universally accepted without resistances. liberal democracy is the best and final model of governance; in this regard, united state has moral responsibilities for...
