Abstract excerpt
The 40-42 residue amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Of the two main alloforms, Abeta40 and Abeta42, the longer Abeta42 is linked particularly strongly to AD. Despite the relatively small two amino acid length difference in primary structure, in vitro studies demonstrate that Abeta40 and Abeta42 oligomerize through distinct pathways. Recently, a...
