Patients with Alzheimer’s produce an excess amount of an abnormal protein called, Beta-amyloid, which causes the development of free radicals and ultimately, the cell death that causes the devastating symptoms.
Several sources of current research and documentation into the areas of Alzheimer’s Disease and Beta-amyloid:
The Scientific Battle Against Alzheimer’s Disease | Singularity Hub – The stuff that Alois Alzheimer noticed was actually Beta Amyloid plaque, which is a protein deposit that clumps up and degenerates synapses and nerve endings in the brain. Also found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients are Tau …
Newswire / Press Release: AnaSpec Introduces Biotin Labeled beta … – Using what they called “FAbB,” fluorescein beta-amyloid (1-40)-Lys(LC-biotin), Leissring, MA. et al. performed proteolysis measurement using fluorescence polarization (FP) technique.4. References: 1. Nelson, TJ. and DL. Alkon, J. Biol. …

Causes of Alzheimer’s | Our Good Health – For years, scientists have linked Alzheimer’s disease to an abnormal deposit of the protein beta amyloid in the brain. This protein deposit often disrupts the communication between nerve cells and cause damage to the brain, …
Alzheimer’s disease Animation | Bioinformations – Research after 2000 includes hypotheses centered on the effects of the misfolded and aggregated proteins, amyloid beta and tau. The two positions differ with one stating that the tau protein abnormalities initiate the disease cascade, …
