Dityrosine cross-link trapping of amyloid-β intermediates reveals that self-assembly is required for Aβ-induced cytotoxicity
2020-03-26
Abstract excerpt
Multiple chemical reactions, such as the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to dityrosine (DiY) formation via the cross-linking of closely spaced tyrosine residues and this can serve as a marker for aging. Amyloid-β (Aβ) has been found to be DiY cross-linked in the brains of AD patients. In vitro, Aβ forms DiY cross-links via metal-catalysed oxidation (Cu 2+ and H 2 0 2 ) (MCO) leading to the...
