The Emerging Role of Metalloproteomics in Alzheimer's Disease Research

Methods Mol Biol. 2016:1303:379-89. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-2627-5_22.

Abstract

Metals are increasingly recognized to have an important role in molecular processes underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD). This chapter discusses the current role of metals in AD and expands on the development of metalloproteomics and how the recent advances in analytical technology will allow detailed investigation of metalloproteins. Investigation of individual metalloproteins will yield new mechanistic details about the role of metals in AD.
