Interaction between soluble Aβ-(1-40) monomer and Aβ-(1-42) fibrils probed by paramagnetic relaxation enhancement.
The most common isoforms of amyloid-β (Aβ) proteins are composed of 40 or 42 amino acid residues. While Aβ-(1-40) is the predominant species, Aβ-(1-42) is more fibrillogenic and neurotoxic, suggesting that Aβ-(1-42) plays a critical role in the initiation of amyloid fibril formation. We investigated the mechanisms by which soluble Aβ-(1-40) associates with preformed Aβ-(1-42) seeds. A paramagne...
متن کاملStructural Discrimination between Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42) Peptides in Films with Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy.
The secondary structure of full-length Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42) peptides in films has been investigated with IR and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy. From IR spectra, it is shown that the prepared films of Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42) mainly comprise the β-sheet conformation that is characteristic of aggregated and fibrous Aβ. In the VCD spectra, the Aβ(1-42) film shows an intense and sh...
متن کاملFailure of Aβ(1-40) amyloid fibrils under tensile loading.
Amyloid fibrils and plaques are detected in the brain tissue of patients affected by Alzheimer's disease, but have also been found as part of normal physiological processes such as bacterial adhesion. Due to their highly organized structures, amyloid proteins have also been used for the development of nanomaterials, for a variety of applications including biomaterials for tissue engineering, na...
متن کاملمدل ساز ی به روش شبیه سازی دینامیک مولکولی مونومر Aβ (1-42) و Aβ (1-40) ، به منظور مقایسه نقش آن‌ها در ایجاد بیماری آلزایمر
سابقه و هدف: مطالعه های آسیب‌شناختی، تشکیل پلاک‌های فیبری و توده‌های تجمع یافته پپتید آمیلوئید بتا (Aβ) را یکی از دلایل بیماری آلزایمر پیشنهاد کرده‌اند. از آنجا که این بیماری وابسته به ساختار فضایی پروتئین است در این مقاله به روش شبیه سازی دینامیک مولکولی مراحل آغازین تغییرهای کنفورماسیون دو مونومر از Aβ، Aβ (1-42) و Aβ (1-40) مورد بررسی قرار میگیرد. مواد و روش ها: ساختار NMR دو پپتید Aβ (...
متن کاملGinsenoside Rg1 attenuates oligomeric Aβ(1-42)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the major pathological changes seen in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Amyloid beta-peptide (Aβ), a neurotoxic peptide, accumulates in the brain of AD subjects and mediates mitochondrial and neuronal stress. Therefore, protecting mitochondrion from Aβ-induced toxicity holds potential benefits for halting and treating and perhaps preventing AD. Here, we report that ...
