- Abstract
In the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the production of HOṖ by copper–amyloid beta (Aβ) in the presence of ascorbate is known to be deleterious for the Aβ peptide itself and also for the surrounding molecules, thus establishing a direct link between AD and oxidative stress. The metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) of Aβ primarily targets the residues involved in copper coordination during HOṖ production. In the present work, we demonstrate that the oxidative damage undergone by Aβ during MCO lead to a change in copper coordination, with enhanced catalytic properties that increases the rates of ascorbate consumption and HOṖ production, and the amount of HOṖ released by the system. This phenomenon is observed after the peptide has been sufficiently oxidized.
