Abstract excerpt
The beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) is a major component of the Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated senile plaques and is generated by sequential cleavage of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta-secretase and gamma-secretase. Since BACE1 initiates Abeta generation it represents a valuable target to interfere with Abeta production and treatment of AD. While the enzymatic activity of BACE1 resides in the...
