Amyloid-beta (A-beta) aggregates are tangles of proteins most notably associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Despite its constant stint in the limelight, however, researchers ...
Researchers use microscopy to chart amyloid beta's underlying structure and yield insight into neurodegenerative disease. Amyloid-beta (A-beta) aggregates are tangles of proteins most notably ...
Researchers have developed a microscopy technique to visualize amyloid beta’s underlying structure, which could yield new insights into Alzheimer’s disease. As the prevalence of Alzheimer’s rises, ...
In the 1950s, Linus Pauling and Robert Corey proposed the idea of rippled beta-sheets — sections of proteins— called peptides— that are mirror-images of each other, held together by hydrogen bonds in ...
In addition to the natural sequence of amino acids that makes up a protein, their three-dimensional arrangement in space is also critical to their function. For example, β-sheets, which are sheet-like ...
