Abstract excerpt
In Alzheimer's, the disease-related protein Tau is hyperphosphorylated and aggregates into neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The cis isomer of the phosphorylated Thr231-Pro232 has been proposed as a precursor of aggregation ('Cistauosis'), but this aggregation scheme is not yet completely accepted. Here, we synthesized peptides comprising a phosphorylated region including Thr231-Pro232 and an aggregation-core region...
