(7-Diethylaminocoumarin-3-yl)carbonyl-Amyloid β-Protein (1-40)
Amyloid β-protein (1-40) that is N-terminally modified with the fluorescent dye (7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-yl)carbonyl (DAC or DEAC). This derivative can be utilized to assess the binding properties of amyloid β-protein (1-40) for various membranes since it behaves very similar to the native peptide. In aqueous environments the fluorophore is almost non-fluorescent whereas binding to membranes results in an increase in fluorescence intensity (Λex = 430 nm, Λem = 470 nm). Increases in the GM1 ganglioside and cholesterol content in the lipid bilayers facilitated the binding of this peptide. For phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine no affinity was observed.

(Asn⁶⁷⁰,Sta⁶⁷¹,Val⁶⁷²)-Amyloid β/A4 Protein Precursor₇₇₀ (662-675)
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) β-secretase from human brain cleaves full-length APP at the amino terminus of the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) sequence, thus leading to the generation and extracellular release of β-cleaved soluble APP and a corresponding cell-associated carboxy-terminal fragment. The subsequent cleavage of the C-terminal fragment by γ-secretase(s) leads to the formation of Aβ. This new peptide represents a potent substrate analog inhibitor of APP β-secretase with IC?? = 30 nM.

The Osaka mutation was the first deletion-type mutation to be identified in APP and Aβ.
The Aβ E22delta mutant is more resistant to degradation by two major Aβ-degrading enzymes, neprilysin and insulin-degrading enzyme.

-
GA20197
(Gly²¹)-Amyloid β-Protein (1-40)
Contrary to β-amyloid peptides mutated at position 22 (Dutch, Italian, Arctic mutants) the Flemish mutation (A21G) shows a decreased tendency to aggregate and a reduced neurotoxicity. In the studies of Betts and Tsubuki, A21G was degraded significantly more slowly by neprilysin than the wild-type Aβ 1-40 and the E22 mutants. The relative resistance to proteolytic degradation may account for the pathogenicity of the Aβ mutant.

(Lys²²)-Amyloid β-Protein (1-40)
The Italian mutation of β-amyloid 1-40 (E22K) aggregates more rapidly than the wild-type sequence 1-40. It showed increased neurotoxicity, which (according to a solid-phase NMR-study of Masuda et al.) may be due to the salt bridge formed between Lys²² and Asp²³ in the minor conformer. As the Arctic, Flemish, and Dutch mutants, the Italian mutant is degraded considerably more slowly than wild-type Aβ by neprilysin.

-
GA20259
(Nle³⁵)-Amyloid β-Protein (1-40)
The reactive thioether of Met³? is crucial for the activity of Aβ 1-40 and Aβ 1-42. Due to the replacement of Met by inert Nle, M35Nle Aβ 1-40 was no longer toxic to cultured hippocampal neurons and had little effect on the level of protein carbonyl residues. The Nle peptide showed the same propensity to aggregate, whereas sulfoxide formation hindered the required conformational transition from random coil to β-sheet.
-
GA20260
(Nle³⁵)-Amyloid β-Protein (1-42)
The thioether of Met³? plays a critical role in the oxidative stress induced by Aβ 1-42 and its neurotoxicity. The norleucine analog Aβ 1-42 M35Nle forms fibrils morphologically indistinguishable from the ones of the native sequence though lacking their neurotoxicity.

(Pyr³)-Amyloid β-Protein (3-40)
The pyroglutamate-modified amyloid-β peptides derived from Aβ40 (H-7422) and Aβ42 (H-4796) have gained considerable attention as potential key participants in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to their abundance in AD brain, high aggregation propensity, stability, and cellular toxicity. Aβ40 and 42 can be N-terminally truncated by action of cathepsin B. The cyclization of Glu³ is catalyzed by glutaminyl cyclase. Hence, inhibition of these enzymes could be a therapeutic approach to AD.
-
GA20284
(Pyr³)-Amyloid β-Protein (3-42)
(Pyr³)-Amyloid β-Protein (3-42) was found to be the predominant amyloid β-peptide structure deposited in human brain of Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome patients. Therefore, (Pyr³)-Aβ (3-42) is suggested to accumulate in the brain and to trigger the formation of insoluble amyloid β-peptide deposits. Nussbaum et al. studies the Prion-like behaviour and tau-dependent cytotoxicity of the truncated Aβ sequence.

GA20282
(Pyr¹¹)-Amyloid β-Protein (11-40)
pEVHHQKLVFFAEDVGSNKGAIIGLMVGGVV, the N-terminally truncated isoform of the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) beginning with a pyroglutamate (Pyr) residue at position 11 was used in experiments studying the generality of fibrillogenesis-related helix formation. Comparing the fibrillogenesis kinetics of many of the most important clinically relevant amyloid β-protein alloforms it could be observed that among these peptides (Pyr¹¹)-amyloid β-protein (11-40) exhibited the greatest retardation of fibrillization rate.
