Abstract excerpt
Zinc ions and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are found in amyloid deposits and are known to modulate the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) aggregation, which is thought to be a key event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Correlation spectroscopy was used to study how the H6R and D7H mutations of the metal-binding domain (MBD) of Aβ42 affect the modulation of its zinc-induced aggregation by the model GAG heparin....
