1 Based on its unique tertiary structure, we explored the potential of NAA to modulate aggregation of amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide 1-42 via multiple corroborating aggregation assays along with electron microscopy. N-acetylaspartate amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
2 Thioflavin-T fluorescence assay demonstrated that at physiological concentrations, NAA substantially inhibited the initiation of Abeta fibril formation. N-acetylaspartate amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
3 Furthermore, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements confirmed significant reductions in Abeta fibril hydrodynamic radius following treatment with NAA. N-acetylaspartate amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
