Abstract

Here we demonstrate a significant difference in redox behaviour of copper complexes with β-amyloids Aβ(11-x) and pAβ(11-x) which are models for important components of senile plaques. A small change in the peptide chain may enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation which can severely damage nerve cells.
