Three-Dimensional Structure Of The Amyloid Precursor Protein Intracellular Domain (AICD) In Complex With Human FE65-PTB2

摘要

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional structure of the intracellular domain (AICD) of human amyloid precursor protein (APP695) in complex with human Fe65-PTB2 (i.e. a protein-complex comprising the intracellular domain (AICD) of human amyloid precursor protein (APP695) and the human Fe65-PTB2), as well as to methods and uses of said three-dimensional structure for identifying ligands which modify the interaction between the AICD and the Fe65-PTB2. Moreover, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions which contain one or more of such identified ligands for the prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
