Design of small molecules that target metal-A{beta} species and regulate metal-induced A{beta} aggregation and neurotoxicity.

abstract：:Small GTP-binding proteins play a critical role in the regulation of a range of cellular processes--including growth, differentiation, and intracellular transportation. Previously, we isolated a gene, rgp1, encoding a small GTP-binding protein, by differential screening of a rice cDNA library with probe DNAs from rice...
