Effect of ferric citrate on amyloid‐beta peptides behavior

Amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregation and oxidative stress are two of the central events in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Both these phenomena can be caused by the interaction of Aβ with metal ions. In the last years the interaction between ZnII , CuII , and Aβ was much studied, but between iron and Aβ it is still little known. In this work we determine how three Aβ peptides, present in AD, interact with FeIII -citrate. The three Aβ peptides are: full...
