Function: Precursor protein causes molecules that would normally be free-floating in the brain to misfold.Chain C TextToBeDisplayed Chain C showing hydrophobic in purple and hydrophyllic in dark blue. Chains B,C,D shown stacked on top of one another. B=blue, C=red, D=whiteTextToBeDisplayed Alzheimer'sRelevance: Alzheimer's is a non-curable, degenerative disease that effects the brain and eventually one's quality of life.Structural highlights: Misfolded molecules stack on top of one another and form plaques in the brain leading to Alzheimer's disease.This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
