Alzheimer’s disease Plaques are made up of small peptides, 39– 43 amino acids in length, called beta-amyloid (Aβ). Beta-amyloid is a fragment from a larger protein called amyloid precursor protein (APP)
Amyloid β protein loop. The broken red lines indicate a loop in the amyloid-B protein that enables it to attach to other proteins and form clumps that kill brain cells.
