Fibrillisation of ring-closed amyloid peptides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ring-closing olefin metathesis reactions are used to create intra-molecularly ring closed peptides or inter-molecularly ring-closed peptide dimers based on a designed amyloid peptide sequence. The uncrosslinked peptide self-assembles into high aspect ratio nanotubes, however ring-closing leads to the formation of fibrillar and twisted/helical ribbon structures.

Amyloid peptides incorporating a core sequence from the amyloid beta peptide and gamma amino acids: relating bioactivity to self-assembly.
A series of heptapeptides comprising the core sequence Aβ(16-20), KLVFF, of the amyloid β peptide coupled with paired N-terminal γ-amino acids are investigated in terms of cytotoxicity reduction and binding to the full Aβ peptide, both pointing to inhibition of fibrillisation for selected compounds. This is related to the self-assembly capacity of the heptapeptides.
متن کامل"Janus" Cyclic Peptides: A New Approach to Amyloid Fibril Inhibition?
Cyclic peptides are increasingly being shown as powerful inhibitors of fibril formation, and have the potential to be therapeutic agents for combating many debilitating amyloid-related diseases. One such example is a cyclic peptide derivative from the human apolipoprotein C-II, which has the ability to inhibit fibril formation by the fibrillogenic peptide apoC-II(60-70). Using classical molecul...
