β-Amyloid and Tau Peptides

β-Amyloid peptides (Aβ) are short-chain peptides generated by enzymatic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). They tend to form β-sheet conformations and aggregates into amyloid plaques, which represent a key pathological hallmark and contributing factor in Alzheimer’s disease.
Tau peptides are peptide fragments derived from the microtubule-associated protein Tau, which is involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
