Biochemistry: Peptide “fingerprint” enables earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease - EurekAlert

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease are caused by folding errors (misfolding) in proteins or peptides, i.e. by changes in their spatial structure. This is the result of minute deviations in the chemical composition of th…
