Structural insights into the interaction of platinum-based inhibitors with the Alzheimer's disease amyloid-β peptide.
Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, dynamic light scattering and density functional theory are combined to derive structural models for the interaction of neurotoxicity-ablating platinum-based compounds with the amyloid-β peptide.

متن کاملInvestigating the Neuroprotective Effects of Turmeric Extract: Structural Interactions of β-Amyloid Peptide with Single Curcuminoids
A broad biophysical analysis was performed to investigate the molecular basis of the neuroprotective action of Curcuma longa extracts in Alzheimer's disease. By combining circular dichroism and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments with molecular modeling calculations, the minor components of Curcuma longa extracts, such as demethoxycurcumin (2, DMC), bisdemethoxycurcumin (3, BDMC) and cy...
متن کاملAmyloid-β peptide promotes bacterial aging
The pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease is brain deposition of senile plaques composed predominantly of amyloid fibrils. These conformational structures, characteristic of many other human disorders, are formed mainly by the amyloid-β peptide Aβ42. This peptide, which is primarily disordered and soluble as an isolated monomer, can undergo an aggregation and fibrillation process that re...
متن کاملModeling of Platinum-Aryl Interaction with Amyloid-β Peptide.
Ligand field molecular mechanics (LFMM), density functional theory (DFT), and semiempirical PM7 methods are used to study the binding of two Pt(II)-L systems to an N-terminal fragment of the amyloid-β peptide, where L = 2,2-bipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore the conformational freedom of the peptide using LFMM combined with AMBER molecular mecha...
