β-Amyloid (25-35)

β-Amyloid (25-35) (Amyloid beta-peptide (25-35)) is the fragment Aβ(25-35) of the Alzheimer's amyloid β-peptide, has shown neurotoxic activities in cultured cells^[1]. In Vitro:The amino acid sequence of Aβ(25-35) peptide is NH₂-Gly-Ser-Asn-Lys-Gly-Ala-Ile-Ile-Gly-Leu-Met-COOH, where the first Gly represents the amino acid 25 and the last Met represents the amino acid 35. Amyloid beta-peptide(25-35) is also investigated in gel state for the first time. Comparative studies are also carried out using vibrational absorption and ECD. The conformational preference of Aβ(25-35) peptide film is also investigated using vibrational absorption and VCD spectroscopy^[1].
Amyloid beta-peptide(25-35) induces apoptotic effects on isolated brain mitochondria and the redox state of methionine-35, plays a key role in the induction of programmed cellular death pathways and toxic events^[2].
β-Amyloid Aggregation Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1. Solid Aβ peptide is dissolved in cold hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP). The peptide is incubated at room temperature for at least 1 h to establish monomerization and randomization of structure.
2. The HFIP is removed by evaporation, and the resulting peptide is stored as a film at -20 or -80 °C.
3. The resulting film is dissolved in anhydrous DMSO at 5 mM and then dilutes into the appropriate concentration and buffer (serum- and phenol red-free culture medium) with vortexing.
4. Next, the solution is aged for 7 days at 37°C. The sample is then centrifuged at 14000g for 10 min at 4-8 °C; the soluble oligomers are in the supernatant. The supernatant is diluted 10-200-fold for experiments.
Methods vary depends on the downstream applications. In Vivo:Note:
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.

β-Amyloid (25-35) can be used in animal modeling to create Alzheimer's disease models^[5].
