The role of the polyglutamine and N-terminal domains in regulating the aggregation and structural properties of Huntingtin Exon 1

Sophie Vieweg

Huntington Disease (HD) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene leading to the formation of mutant Huntingtin protein (Htt) with an expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) domain (>36Q). Generation of short N-terminal Htt fragments by proteolysis ...

Discovery and characterization of novel stable tau oligomeric complexes: Implications for the role of Tau/phospholipid interactions in regulating its functions in health and disease

Hilal Lashuel, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Nadine Aït Bouziad

The microtubule-associated protein Tau plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Although Tau interaction with membranes is thought to affect some of its physiological functions and its aggregation properties, the sequence determinan ...

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of 2,6-disubstituted pyridine derivatives as inhibitors of beta-amyloid-42 aggregation

Andrea Pfeifer

It is assumed that amyloid-beta aggregation is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Novel 2,6-disubstituted pyridine derivatives were designed to interact with the beta-sheet conformation of A beta via donor-acceptor-donor hydrogen b ...

Structure of Crenezumab Complex with A beta Shows Loss of beta-Hairpin

Andrea Pfeifer

Accumulation of amyloid-beta (A beta) peptides and amyloid plaque deposition in brain is postulated as a cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The precise pathological species of A beta remains elusive although evidence suggests soluble oligomers may be prima ...

Construction of a low temperature STM and studies of large molecular systems

Daniel Pablo Rosenblatt

Several aspects in the field of molecular self assembly are addressed in this thesis. Thanks to the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), structural, electronic and magnetic properties on surfaces can be studied down to the size of a single atom. In this t ...

Discriminative adsorption of amphiphilic monolayer protected gold nanoparticles on amyloid fibers

Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva

This thesis presents a systematic study of how different types monolayer-protected AuNPs interact with amyloid fibers. We report a class of amphiphilic gold nanoparticles capable of adsorbing onto specific surface features on these types of protein fibers. ...
