Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that pre-dominantly affects the elderly population. The main reason is that amyloid beta 42 has a strong tendency to aggregate, which easily induces the damage to the central nervous system. It was shown that residues 16 and 28 play a key role in the self-assembly process. Moreover, these studies have revealed that substituting alanine...
