Characterization of uranyl (UO <sub>2</sub> <sup>2+</sup> ) ion binding to amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides: effects on Aβ structure and aggregation

2023-04-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4> Abstract </h4> Uranium (U) is naturally present in ambient air, water, and soil, and depleted uranium (DU) is released into the environment via industrial and military activities. While the radiological damage from U is rather well understood, less is known about the chemical damage mechanisms, which dominate in DU. Heavy metal exposure is associated with numerous health conditions including Alzheimer’s dis...
