Abstract

The major component of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is Abeta, a small peptide that has high propensity to assemble as aggregated beta-sheet structures. Using three well established techniques for studying amyloid structure, namely circular dichroism, thioflavin-T fluorescence, and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate that oxidation of the Met-35 side chain to a methionine sulfoxide (Met-35(ox)) significantly hinders the rate of fibril formation for the 42-residue Abeta-(1-42) at physiological pH. Met-35(ox) also alters the characteristic Abeta fibril morphology and prevents formation of the protofibril, which is a key intermediate in beta-amyloidosis and the associated neurotoxicity. The implications of these results for the biological function and role of Abeta with oxidative stress in AD are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
