I was reading an article online that talks about the Alzheimer's-related protein known as beta-amyloid.
Beta-amyloid is best known as the sticky goo that makes up the hallmark plaques inside the brains of Alzheimer's victims. But it doesn't start out as gunk. Soluble forms are found in the fluid that bathes the brain, although scientists don't

Description of Invention:
Amyloid proteins are composed of peptides whose chemical properties are such that they spontaneously aggregate in vitro or in vivo, assuming parallel or antiparallel beta sheet configurations. Amyloid proteins can arise from peptides which, though differing in primary amino acid sequences, assume the same

In Alzheimer’s disease, a protein fragment called beta-amyloid accumulates at abnormally high levels...’s disease, beta-amyloid is produced in the brain at a normal rate but is not cleared, or removed from the brain, efficiently.
In addition to improving the understanding of what
