Abstract
Oxidative modification due to reactive oxygen species generated by Cu2+ bound to the amyloid-β peptide may be one of the sources of neurodegeneration observed in Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the structure and function of the copper binding site can assist in the design of effective therapeutics. This paper highlights some of the most significant recent developments in computational modelling studies of the structure of the binding site and reaction mechanisms of reactive oxygen species generation.
