Constructing conformational library for amyloid-β42 dimers as the smallest toxic oligomers using two CHARMM force fields

Maryam Haji Dehabadi et al.

Summary: The study of Amyloid-beta (A beta) dimers in Alzheimer's disease is of great interest. The low stability of these dimers and their tendency to aggregate have limited the structural characterization. In this study, a computational protocol called blockwise excursion sampling (BES) was used to efficiently generate a conformational library of A beta(42) dimers, which is important for finding potential drug candidates.

Medium-Chain Length Fatty Acids Enhance Aβ Degradation by Affecting Insulin-Degrading Enzyme

Janine Mett et al.

Summary: Research has shown that insulin-degrading enzyme plays a crucial role in the degradation and homeostasis of Aβ protein, and saturated medium-chain fatty acids can increase Aβ degradation. MCFAs can promote IDE secretion, enhance enzyme activity, and may be beneficial in preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease.

Summary: This study comprehensively investigated the synthesis, crystal structure analysis, electronic properties, drug-likeness and biological targets of an organic-structured molecule. It was found that the compound may have potential therapeutic effects against neurodegenerative diseases and myotonic dystrophy. The results showed that the compound meets the criteria of drug-likeness and demonstrates activity in gastrointestinal absorption and Blood-Brain Barrier crossing.
