Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 May 25;50(40):5206-8. doi: 10.1039/c3cc46685j. Epub 2013 Oct 25.

Abstract

We report the design, synthesis, characterization and evaluation of a novel class of γ-AApeptide one-bead-one-compound (OBOC) library, from which a small γ-AApeptide was identified to effectively prevent and disassemble Aβ aggregation.
