Abstract

Various methodologies including spectrophotometry, spectrofluorometry and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are used to study the formation of Alzheimer's [beta]-amyloid fibrils (fA[beta]) by various anti-amyloidogenic compounds. The in vitro experiments reveal that flavonoids inhibit a preferential and reversible binding to the amyloid fibril structure of fA[beta], which leads to the amyloidogenic effect against the fibrils.
