Abstract excerpt
We report here a recombinant expression system that allows production of large quantities of Alzheimer's Abeta(1-40) peptide. The material is competent to dissolve in water solutions with "random-coil properties," although its conformation and factual oligomerization state are determined by the physico-chemical solution conditions. When dissolved in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37 degrees C, the...
