Amyloid beta peptide 15 (Aβ 34-42)

This part encodes a part of the Amyloid 𝛽 fragment (34-42) 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 29 to 42 of the fibril. This binding peptide starts from amino acid 34 to 42.

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.
