Effect of Surfaces on Amyloid Fibril Formation
Brad Moores, Elizabeth Drolle, Simon Attwood +2
Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) we investigated the interaction of amyloid beta (Ab) (1 42) peptide with chemically modified surfaces in order to better understand the mechanis…

Cu2+ Affects Amyloid-\b{eta} (1-42) Aggregation by Increasing Peptide-Peptide Binding Forces
Francis Hane, Gary Tran, Simon Attwood +1
The link between metals, Alzheimers disease (AD) and its implicated protein, amyloid \b{eta} (A\b{eta}), is complex and highly studied. AD is believed to occur as a result of the m…

Magnetic Force Microscopy Characterization of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs)
Gustavo Cordova, Simon Attwood, Ravi Gaikwad +2
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), due to their controllable sizes, relatively long in vivo half-life and limited agglomeration, are ideal for biomedical applicat…
