  • Title: Insights into the thermodynamics of copper association with amyloid-β, α-synuclein and prion proteins.
    Author: Hong L, Simon JD.
    Journal: Metallomics; 2011 Mar; 3(3):262-6. PubMed ID: 21116546.
    Abstract:
    This review examines recent studies on the thermodynamics of copper association with amyloid-β, α-synuclein and prion protein, with an eye towards using this information to understand the etiology of associated neurodegenerative diseases. A variety of binding affinities and binding sites, which are essential to understand the function and consequence of copper-protein interaction, have been reported for copper to these three neurobiologic systems. This current review reconciles the disparate models presented in the literature.
