Curcumin alters the salt bridge-containing turn region in amyloid β(1-42) aggregates.
Amyloid β (Aβ) fibrillar deposits in the brain are a hallmark of Alzheimer disease (AD). Curcumin, a common ingredient of Asian spices, is known to disrupt Aβ fibril formation and to reduce AD pathology in mouse models. Understanding the structural changes induced by curcumin can potentially lead to AD pharmaceutical agents with inherent bio-compatibility. Here, we use solid-state NMR spectrosc...
متن کاملSalt bridge stabilization of charged zwitterionic arginine aggregates in the gas phase.
The discovery of several new unusually stable aggregates of arginine that are intermolecularly bound by salt bridges is reported. Quadrupole ion-trap mass spectrometry provides evidence for the stability of arginine in the zwitterionic state, where the protonated guanidinium group of one arginine interacts strongly with the carboxylate of another to form stable noncovalent complexes, coordinate...

15 صفحه اولEffect of curcumin on amyloid‐like aggregates generated from methionine‐oxidized apolipoprotein A‐I
Curcumin is a polyphenolic phytonutrient that has antineurodegenerative properties. In this study, we investigated the anti-amyloidogenic properties of curcumin. Following incubation with curcumin, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence emission of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I was strongly quenched. At the same time, curcumin fluorescence emission was enhanced. The fluorescence emission spectra of curcu...
متن کاملAmyloid nanospheres from polyglutamine rich peptides: assemblage through an intermolecular salt bridge interaction.
We have shown the conversion of an amyloid fiber forming nucleation pathway of polyglutamine (polyGln) to a non-nucleated pathway, generating nanospherical amyloid particles. This is achieved by engineering an intermolecular salt bridge interaction between the positively charged lysine and the negatively charged glutamate residues, in two polyGln rich peptides. The mechanism of their formation ...
