Inhibition of aggregation of amyloid-β through covalent modification with benzylpenicillin; potential relevance to Alzheimer's disease

The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is correlated with the misfolding and aggregation of amyloid-beta protein (Aβ). Here we report that the antibiotic benzylpenicillin (BP) can specifically bind to Aβ, modulate the process of aggregation and supress its cytotoxic effect, initially via...
