Cryo-EM structure of Alzheimer’s disease tau filaments with PET ligand MK-6240
2023-09-22
Abstract excerpt
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) ligands have advanced Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis and treatment. Using autoradiography and cryo-EM, we identified AD brain tissue with elevated tau burden, purified filaments, and determined the structure of second-generation high avidity PET ligand MK-6240 at 2.31 Å resolution, which bound at a 1:1 ratio within the cleft of tau paired-helical filament (PHF), engaging with...
