Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A defining pathological hallmark of the progressive neurodegenerative disorder Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of misfolded tau with abnormal post-translational modifications (PTMs). These include phosphorylation at Threonine 231 (T231) and acetylation at Lysine 274 (K274) and at Lysine 281 (K281). Although tau is recognized to play a central role in pathogenesis of AD, the precise...
