  2. 1. The Alzheimer Aβ Peptide : Identification of Properties Distinctive for Toxic Prefibrillar Species

    Author : Anna-Lena Göransson; Jenny Presto; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Proteins must have specific conformations to function correctly inside cells. However, sometimes they adopt the wrong conformation, causing dysfunction and disease.
