This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

We discovered that the function of a native neuropeptide, somatostatin (SST), is switched through its conformational transition in the presence of metal ions, metal-free amyloid-beta (Abeta), and metal-bound Abeta that are associated with toxicity observed in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients.
