β-Amyloid (29-40) is a fragment of Amyloid-β peptide. IC50 & Target: Amyloid-β^[1] In Vitro: β-Amyloid (29-40) is a fragment of Amyloid-β peptide, unsoluble in water, acetonitrile or in a mixture of both in different ratios. Cationic arginine residues is introduced at β-Amyloid (29-40) C-terminus to solubilize β-Amyloid (29-40) and introduce cationicity in this Aβ stretch to enable it to interact with the negatively charged membrane of bacteria. β-Amyloid (29-40) variants shows antimicrobial effect^[1]. Single chain variable fragments (scFv's) binds the 17-28 region of Abeta and effectively inhibits in vitro aggregation of Abeta, but binding the carboxyl-terminal region of β-Amyloid (29-40) does not inhibit aggregation^[2].
