Preventing β-amyloid fibrillization and deposition: β-sheet breakers and pathological chaperone inhibitors
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the conversion of normal, soluble β-amyloid (sAβ) to oligomeric, fibrillar Aβ. This process of conformational conversion can be influenced by interactions with other proteins that can stabilize the d...
