A Comparative Interaction between Copper Ions with Alzheimer's β Amyloid Peptide and Human Serum Albumin

Table 2

Binding parameters for Aβ(1–16) + Cu2+ interaction. Negative   𝛿 𝜃 𝐴 and 𝛿 𝜃 𝐵   values indicate that Cu2+ could affect the structure of Aβ(1–16) and destabilize the Aβ(1–16) structure significantly. Unstable Aβ(1–16) + Cu2+ complex causes the aggregation of Aβ(1–16) in the brain.
