Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease can be considered a protein misfolding disease. In particular, inappropriate processing of a proteolytic fragment of amyloid precursor protein, amyloid beta-protein (Abeta), in early stages of Alzheimer's disease may lead to stabilization of small oligomers that are highly mobile and have a potential to be extremely toxic assemblies. Recently, the importance of such soluble species of Abeta in...
