<p>We report, f<i>or the first time</i>, a novel mechanistic tactic to directly modify the coordination sphere of Cu(II)–Aβ complexes in a metal binding residue-specific manner, which can prevent Cu(II) binding to Aβ, modulate the aggregation of Cu(II)–Aβ, and generate chemically transformed Aβ with less cytotoxicity, to the best of our knowledge.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
