Abstract excerpt
Presenilin (PS1 or PS2) functions as the catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, which produces the toxic amyloid beta peptides in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The dependence of folding and structural stability of PSs on the lipophilic environment and mutation were investigated by far UV CD spectroscopy. The secondary structure content and stability of PS2 depended on the lipophilic environment. PS2 undergoes a...
