- W4240396620 abstract "Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that results in the death of neurons and impaired cognitive function. One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's is the formation of senile plaques which originate from the aggregation of the Amyloid-beta protein. Recent research has found a correlation between the overabundance of copper-ions in the brain and this problem. They have hypothesized that chelation therapy may be an effective tool to solve it. In this study, we conducted Density Functional Theory calculations to investigate the interaction of the copper-ion to the truncated Amyloid-beta protein, as well as the adsorption of the copper-ion by potential chelation materials. Binding energy and charge transfer calculations were evaluated for copper's interaction with potential chelators: monolayer boron nitride, monolayer molybdenum disulfide, and monolayer silicene. Silicene produced the highest binding energies to copper, and the evidence of charge transfer between copper and the monolayer proves that there is a strong ionic bond present. Although our three monolayers did not directly present chelation potential, the absolute differences between the binding energies of the silicene binding sites and the Amyloid-beta binding sites were minimal proving that further research in silicene chelators may be useful for therapy in Alzheimer's disease." @default.
