By combining NMR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and circular dichroism we have identified the structural determinants involved in the interaction of green tea catechins with A1-42, PrP106-126, and ataxin-3 oligomers. The data allow the elucidation of their mechanism of action, showing that the flavan-3-ol unit of catechins is essential for interaction. At the same time, the gallate moiety, when present, seems to increase the affinity for the target proteins. These results provide important information for the rational design of new compounds with anti-amyloidogenic activity and/or molecular tools for the specific targeting of amyloid aggregates in vivo.
