Amyloid-Beta - 7-92-1H1

Amyloid-Beta - 7-92-1H1

Target: Aβ(42) monomer

Binding Affinity: 63.4 nM (SPR)


Usage and Biology

Aβ7-92-1H1 is a DNA aptamer with a length of 44 bases containing a stem-loop structure. Aβ7-92-1H1 Kd value of 63.4 nM indicated high specificity of this aptamer for Aβ42 monomer [1]. It has been shown that Aβ7-92-1H1 could not bind to Aβ40 monomer, but it recognizes Aβ42 and Aβ40 aggregates (oligomer and fibril) with various affinities [1]. This indicates that the selectivity of Aβ7-92-1H1 for Aβ40 monomer needs to be improved. Still, its ability to recognize Aβ monomers and aggregates is very suitable for the development of inhibitors for regulating Aβ aggregation [1].
