| Abstract | Iron (Fe) is the most abundant transition metal ion in the human body and its role, in the form of heme, has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2Dm). Heme binds both amyloid beta (Aβ) and human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) to form heme–Aβ and heme–hIAPP complexes, respectively, and form reactive oxygen species (ROS) like H2O2, O2˙−etc., which are known to cause oxidative damage. However the intermediates involved during ROS formation have not yet been isolated. In this study the oxygen bound intermediates of both heme–Aβ(1–16) and heme–hIAPP(1–19) have been isolated and characterized using absorption, EPR and resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy. Fe–O stretches have been found at 575 cm−1 and 577 cm−1 for heme–Aβ(1–16) and heme–hIAPP(1–19) respectively. The oxy intermediates are stable at low temperatures. The isolation of the intermediates reveals a mechanistic pathway of ROS generation through the two heme complexes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
