The toxic conformation of the 42-residue amyloid beta peptide and its relevance to oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease
Abstract
Senile plaques in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease mainly consist of aggregates of amyloid beta peptides (Abeta42, Abeta40). Abeta42 is more neurotoxic than Abeta40. This review describes recent findings from a structural analysis of Abeta42 aggregates and discusses their relevance to neurotoxicity through the formation of radicals.
