1 Molecular l intervention ti into amyloid formation Jan Bieschke Max Delbrück Centrum für Molekulare Medizin, Berlin NeuroProteomics

2 Protein misfolding diseases - Common features of protein folding diseases - Molecular mechanisms (Alzheimer, Parkinson, polyq disorders, systemic amyloidosis) - Therapeutic strategies for amyloid diseases (anti-aggregation therapies)

3 Formation of insoluble protein aggregates g is a common feature of amyloid diseases Clinical syndrome Oligomer/aggregate component Alzheimer s disease Amyloid-ß (Aß) peptide PD HD Huntington s disease Huntingtin, or huntingtin fragments Parkinson s disease - Synuclein Spongiform Prion, or prion fragments encephalopathies Type II diabetes Fragment of IAPP AD
