Abstract excerpt
The 42 amino acid beta A4 peptide is the major constituent of the senile plaques, one of the hallmark neuropathological lesions of Alzheimer's disease. While C-terminally truncated variants were shown to be present in normal body fluids, a single Glu-->Gln change in the 39 amino acid form of beta A4 results in accelerated fibril formation in the brains of patients with Dutch-type hereditary cerebral hemorrhage...
