摘要: The structure of the infectious agent responsible for prion diseases has not been fully characterized, but evidence points to a β-rich conformer host-encoded protein. Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), proteolytic fragment generated from amyloid precursor protein, implicated as toxic molecule involved in pathogenesis Alzheimer's disease. mechanism Aβ toxicity might be mediated through coordination redox-active transition-metal ions such copper leading generation reactive oxygen species, coupled with propensity interact lipid bilayers. Key sequence and chemical similarities between protein (PrP) indicate that similar therapeutic strategies applicable treatment diseases.
