Popis: Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of neurodegenerative disease and the formation of Aβ amyloid aggregates has been widely demonstrated to be the principal cause of Alzheimer's disease. Our previous study and other studies suggested that the gallate moiety played an obligatory role in the inhibition process of naturally occurring polyphenols on Aβ amyloid fibrils formation. However, the detailed mechanisms were still unknown. Thus, in the present study, the gallic acid (GA) was specially selected and the molecular recognition mechanisms between GA molecules and Aβ
