Understanding amyloid beta and Alzheimer's disease: the key to helping AD patients Efforts to prevent or treat Alzheimer's Disease (AD) by targeting Amyloid beta (Aβ) assemblies should be continued, but the strategies should be altered dramatically.

Amyloid beta (Aβ of Alzheimer's disease) and α-synuclein (α-Syn of Parkinson's disease) form large fibrils. Evidence is increasing however that much smaller oligomers are more toxic and that these oligomers can form transmembrane ion channels. We

Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides are a major contributor to Alzheimers disease. They occur in differing lengths, each of which forms a multitude of assembly types. The most toxic soluble oligomers are formed by Aβ42; some of which have antiparallel β-sh

Amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers appear to play a pivotal role in Alzheimer's disease. A 42 residue long alloform, Aβ42, is closely related to etiology of the disease. In vitro results show evidences of hexamers; however structures of these hexamers have

Mechanosensitive TREK channels belong to the family of K2P channels, a family of widely distributed, well-modulated channels that uniquely have two similar or identical subunits, each with two TM1-P-TM2 motifs. Our goal is to build viable structural

Both soluble and membrane-bound pre-fibrillar assemblies of Abeta (Aβ) peptides have been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The size and nature of theses assemblies vary greatly and are affected by many factors. Here we present models of sol

Although it is clear that amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides play a pivotal role in the development of Alzheimer's disease, the precise molecular model of action remains unclear. Aβ peptide forms assemble both in aqueous solution and in lipid membranes. It

On the basis of the consistent demonstrations that the Abeta peptide of Alzheimer's disease forms calcium permeant channels in artificial membranes, we have proposed that the intracellular calcium increase observed in cells exposed to Abeta is initia

Most crystallized homo-oligomeric ion channels are highly symmetric, which dramatically decreases conformational space and facilitates building homology models (HMs). However, in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations channels deviate from ideal symmetr
