Alzheimer's analysed: New clues in brain disease

http://www.spectroscopynow.com/commo...3af4d7f690.jpgRecent studies have added weight to the idea that amyloid-beta is a causative agent in Alzheimer's disease rather than the plaques formed from these chunks of misfolded peptide that deposit in the diseased brain. Now, European researchers have used REAPDOR solid-state NMR spectroscopy to analyse the hydrogen bonds in the tiny fibrils of amyloid-beta peptide, offering another perspective on this neurodegenerative disorder.
