Abstrakt: Heme bound Aβ peptides have been reported to reduce O2 by 2e to H2O2 which may result in oxidative stress commonly encountered in Alzheimer's disease. In this study we report the first instance of rapid freeze quench trapping and characterizing the heme(III)-O2˙ intermediate involved in the heme-Aβ induced formation of partially reduced oxygen species (PROS) in physiologically relevant aqueous medium using absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy. The kinetics of this process indicates a key role of the Tyr10 residue, unique to human Aβ, in the generation of H2O2 from O2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
