Ultraviolet light triggers the conversion of Cu(2+)-bound Aβ(42) aggregates into cytotoxic species in a copper chelation-independent manner

Increasing evidence indicates that abnormal Cu(2+) binding to Aβ peptides are responsible for the formation of soluble Aβ oligomers and ROS that play essential roles in AD pathogenesis. During studying the Cu(2+)-chelating treatment of Cu(2+)-bound Aβ(42) aggregates, we found that UV light exposure...
