Abstract excerpt
Ubb+1, a ubiquitin (Ub) mutant protein originating from misreading of the Ub B gene, is found accumulated in brain tissues of Alzheimer's disease patients. The mutant attracts strong interest due to its possible participation in the molecular events leading to neurodegeneration. Ubb+1 is composed of the globular domain of Ub, linked to a 19-residue C-terminal peptide. Based on NMR relaxation and solvent...
