Abstract excerpt
The 42-mer amyloid β-protein (Aβ42) aggregates to form soluble oligomers that cause memory loss and synaptotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Oxidative stress is closely related to the pathogenesis of AD. We previously identified the toxic conformer of Aβ42 with a turn at positions 22 and 23 ("toxic turn") by solid-state NMR and demonstrated that a monoclonal antibody (11A1) against the toxic turn in Aβ42...
