WWW peptide is designed to inhibit the fibrilization of tau which is one of the main drivers of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia diseases. PHF* (VQIINK) is the site that derives tau aggregation. WWW can bind to PHF* in a means that can disrupt the interface between each PHF* and consequently reduce the aggregates.

WWW (Tau binding peptide)

Synthetic peptide used to bind to the aggregations of misfolded tau protein (BBa_) and toxic Amyloid beta plaques (BBa_).


Usage and Biology

WWW peptide is designed to inhibit the fibrilization of tau which is one of the main drivers of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia diseases. PHF* (VQIINK) is the site that derives tau aggregation. WWW can bind to PHF* in a means that can disrupt the interface between each PHF* and consequently reduce the aggregates. Accordingly, this peptide would be suitable to act as the targeting domain in our systems.
