Description

β-Amyloid peptide (1-42) aggregation results in the formation of neurotoxic fibrils or globular oligomers.¹ The amyloid precursor protein (APP) mutation Ala673Val results in disease for homozygous carriers but not for heterozygous carriers. The mutation generates β-Amyloid peptide with valine at amino acid position two. Biochemical analysis of Aβ (1-42) aggregation suggests this small peptide may be a useful guide for developing β-amyloid peptide aggregation inhibitors.²
