Specific Binding of Alzheimer’s Abeta Peptide Fibrils to Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Specific Binding of Alzheimer’s Abeta Peptide Fibrils to Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Amyloids constitute a class of protein and protein fragments believed to be involved in the pathologies associated with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Creutzfeldt‐ Jakob diseases. These proteins can self‐assemble into unique fibrillar structures that are resistant to normal protein degradation. Intere...
