Modelling Beta-Amyloid
This is another degradation model we designed to help UCL with their Beta-Amyloid degradation assays. <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Project/Degradation" target="_blank">Beta-Amyloid Degradation Assays </a> Beta-Amyloid is known as the component of Amyloids Plaque in association with Alzheimer's disease, in which the target of UCL iGEM this year <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:UCL/Background/Alzheimers" target="_blank">Alzheimer's disease (AD)</a>. Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) was discovered to degrade Beta-Amyloid that can be potentially used to cure Alzheimer's disease.
