Effects of oxidation on redox and cytotoxic properties of copper complex of Aβ1-16 peptide
Abstract The effect of oxidation on redox and cytotoxic properties of copper complex of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide was studied by gamma radiolysis. The oxidation of Aβ1-16 and Aβ1-16/Cu(II) complex was carried out using hydroxyl (*OH) radicals produced by gamma radiolysis and the products were analyz...

Summary: | Abstract
The effect of oxidation on redox and cytotoxic properties of copper complex of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide was studied by gamma radiolysis. The oxidation of Aβ1-16 and Aβ1-16/Cu(II) complex was carried out using hydroxyl (*OH) radicals produced by gamma radiolysis and the products were analyzed using mass spectrometry. The presence of Cu(II) was found to enhance the oxidation of Aβ1-16 peptide. The oxidation of residues Asp1, His6, and His13 was enhanced due to their involvement in copper binding. The oxidation of His residues of Aβ1-16 peptide, which are chiefly responsible for copper binding, resulted in altered redox properties and subsequently in higher cytotoxicity of the Aβ1-16 peptide in SH-SY5Y cells. |
