Correction to Macrocyclic β-Sheet Peptides That Inhibit the Aggregation of a Tau-Protein-Derived Hexapeptide
نویسندگان
چکیده
The captions for Figure 2C,D have several minor errors numbering of the residues of Aβ. The corrected captions should read: (C) NMR-based structural model of Aβ1−40 fibrils showing central residues K16−D22 and A30−V36. (D) NMR-based structural model of Aβ1−42 fibrils showing central residues L17−I41. These errors are peripheral to this paper and do not affect the results or conclusions in any way.

Macrocyclic β-Sheet Peptides That Inhibit the Aggregation of a Tau-Protein-Derived Hexapeptide
This paper describes studies of a series of macrocyclic β-sheet peptides 1 that inhibit the aggregation of a tau-protein-derived peptide. The macrocyclic β-sheet peptides comprise a pentapeptide "upper" strand, two δ-linked ornithine turn units, and a "lower" strand comprising two additional residues and the β-sheet peptidomimetic template "Hao". The tau-derived peptide Ac-VQIVYK-NH(2) (AcPHF6)...
متن کاملCapping Amyloid β-Sheets of the Tau-Amyloid Structure VQIVYK with Hexapeptides Designed To Arrest Growth. An ONIOM and Density Functional Theory Study
We present ONIOM calculations using density functional theory (DFT) as the high and AM1 as the medium level that explore the abilities of different hexapeptide sequences to terminate the growth of a model for the tau-amyloid implicated in Alzheimer's disease. We delineate and explore several design principles (H-bonding in the side chains, using antiparallel interactions on the growing edge of ...
متن کاملAssembly of Peptides Derived from β-Sheet Regions of β-Amyloid
In Alzheimer's disease, aggregation of the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) results in the formation of oligomers and fibrils that are associated with neurodegeneration. Aggregation of Aβ occurs through interactions between different regions of the peptide. This paper and the accompanying paper constitute a two-part investigation of two key regions of Aβ: the central region and the C-terminal region. The...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of corcin on aggregation of 1N/4R human tau protein in vitro
Objective(s):Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. One of the hallmarks of AD is an abnormal accumulation of fibril forms of tau protein which is known as a microtubule associated protein. In this regard, inhibition of tau aggregation has been documented to be a potent therapeutic approach in AD and tauopathies. Unfortunately, the available syntheti...
متن کاملA computational study of self-assembled hexapeptide inhibitors against amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation.
The fibrillation and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in human brains are pathologically linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Development of different inhibitors (peptides, organic molecules, and nanoparticles) to prevent Aβ aggregation becomes a promising therapeutic strategy for AD treatment. We recently propose a "like-interacts-like" design principle to computationally design/screen and...
