Catalytic amyloids as novel synthetic hydrolases
(MDPI, 2021)
Amyloids are supramolecular assemblies composed of polypeptides stabilized by an intermolecular beta-sheet core. These misfolded conformations have been traditionally associated with pathological conditions such as Alzheimer's ...
Overcoming electrostatic repulsions during amyloid assembly: Effect of pH and interaction with divalent metals using model peptides
(Academic Press Inc., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier Inc. Amyloids are polypeptide aggregates involved in many pathologies including Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid assembly is a complex process affected by different interactions including hydrogen bonding, van ...
Charge regulation phenomenon predicted from the modeling of polypeptide electrophoretic mobilities as a relevant mechanism of amyloid-beta peptide oligomerization
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2016-03)
Electrophoretic mobilities of amyloid-beta (1-40) and (1-42) peptides and their aggregates are modeled to study the amyloidogenic pathway associated with Alzheimer´s Disease. The near molecule pH generated by the intraparticle ...
Amyloid Precursor Protein in Central and Peripheral Cholinergic Synaptopathies
(Nova Science Publishers, 2011-05)
Alzheimer´s disease is the most widespread form of dementia in the elderly. One of the characteristics of this disease is the profound functional deficit of the cholinergic system as a consequence of synaptic loss. Amyloid ...
Amyloid-ß-peptide reduces copper(II) to copper(I) independent of its aggregation state
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2000)
