A molecular chaperone breaks the catalytic cycle that generates toxic Aβ oligomers.
2015
Aβ peptide aggregation is associated with Alzheimer's disease, and Aβ fibrils can catalyze formation of toxic oligomers. Molecular chaperone Brichos binds to the fibril surface, inhibiting the catalytic cycle in vitro, and limits Aβ toxicity.
