Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The formation of Beta-amyloid plaques in the brain is a key neurodegenerative event in Alzheimer's disease. Small molecules capable of binding to the peripheral anionic site of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) have been shown to inhibit the AChE-induced aggregation of the Beta-amyloid peptide.
