Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of ΔK280 tau mutant resulting in neurotoxic oligomeric aggregates is an important but yet mysterious procedure in Alzheimer's disease (AD) development. Recently, we proposed a histidine tautomerization hypothesis of tau fibrillogenesis for the pathobiology of AD and other neuro diseases. However, the influence of neutral histidine tautomeric states on tau mutation is still unclear. Herein, we...
