Evidence for Age-Dependent <i>in Vivo</i> Conformational Rearrangement within Aβ Amyloid Deposits
25 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Deposition of aggregated Aβ peptide in the brain is one of the major hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Using a combination of two structurally different, but related, hypersensitive fluorescent amyloid markers, LCOs, reporting on separate ultrastructural elements, we show that conformational rearrangement occurs within Aβ plaques of transgenic mouse models as the animals age. This important mechanistic insight...
