Amyloid beta peptide 17 (Aβ 36-42)
This part encodes a part of the Amyloid 𝛽 fragment (36-42) which has the ability to bind to A𝛽 plaques inside the brain.
Usage and Biology
Segments of amyloid beta fibrils are widely used as a recognition sequence for amyloid beta plaques inside the brain, this is due to the homotypic interactions in the C-terminus of fibrils. This peptide starts from amino acid 36 to 42 of the fibril.

Modeling
Due to the nonavailability of a model to this peptide we modeled it in our used modeling software's and after the Running of the quality assessment, the models have been scored to get the top model.
