Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Methyl amino acids play an important role in investigations on prevention or therapy of Alzheimer′s disease, neurofibrillary tangles or amyloid plaque are physiological characteristics of this disease and ?-amyloid(40) fibrillogenesis and disassembly of ?-amyloid(40) fibrils is inhibited by short ?-amyloid congeners containing N-methyl amino acids at alternate residue.

A series of non-proteinogenic amino acids, most of them found quite commonly in the meteorites known as carbonaceous chondrites, were subjected to solid state radiolysis in vacuum to a total radiation dose of 3.2 MGy corresponding to 23% of the

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are noncanonical DNA structures that frequently occur in the promoter regions of oncogenes, such as MYC, and regulate gene expression. Although G4s are attractive therapeutic targets, ligands capable of discriminating between different G4 structures are rare. Here, we

A potential goal in the prevention or therapy of Alzheimer's disease is to decrease or eliminate neuritic plaques composed of fibrillar beta-amyloid (Abeta). In this paper we describe N-methyl amino acid containing congeners of the hydrophobic "core domain" of Abeta
