Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the deposition of amyloid beta-protein as plaques and tangles in the brains of its victims. The amyloid precursor can be expressed with or without the inclusion of a protease inhibitor domain, the potential role of which in amyloidogenesis has prompted the generation of a model of its three-dimensional structure based on the known structure of a related inhibitor. The model...
