Redox reactivities of membrane-bound Amyloid-β-Cu complexes and their targeting by metallothionein-3
2025-06-17
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ 1-40/42 ) in the central nervous system (CNS) and its aggregation in senile amyloid plaques. Copper coordination to Aβ triggers Aβ 1-40/42 aggregation and, in the presence of biological reducing agents, it promotes the catalytic generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via Fenton-type and Haber-Weiss reactions. Due to its a...
