| Abstract | The neurotoxicity of beta-amyloid protein (beta AP) fragments may be a result of their solution conformation, which is very sensitive to solution conditions. In this work we describe NMR and CD studies of the conformation of beta AP(12-28) in lipid (micelle) environments as a function of pH and lipid type. The interaction of beta AP(12-28) with zwitterionic dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles is weak and alters the conformation when compared to water solution alone. By contrast, the interaction of the peptide with anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micelles is strong: beta AP(12-28) is mostly bound, is alpha-helical from K16 to V24, and aggregates slowly. The pH-dependent conformation changes of beta AP(12-28) in solution occur in the pH range at which the side-chain groups of E22, D23, H13, and H14 are deprotonated (pKas ca. 4 and 6.5); the interaction of beta AP(12-28) with SDS micelles alters the pH-dependent conformational transitions of the peptide whereas the weak interaction with DPC micelles causes little change. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
