Amyloid Beta Peptide
Binding Sites on Amyloid Beta Peptide Discoveredby Neuroscience News [image: Image shows monkey brain scans]A rhenium-based complex developed at Rice University binds to fibrils of misfolded amyloid beta peptide, which marks the location of a hydrophobic cleft that could serve as a drug target, and oxidizes the fibril, which changes its chemistry in a way that could prevent further aggregation. NeuroscienceNews.com image is credited to Martí Group/Rice University. Researchers have invented a probe that lights up when it binds to a misfolded amyloid peptide.
