| Research Abstract |
Many fluorescent dyes that fluoresces by exciting at light of various wavelength were connected to various peptides and these peptides were used as peptide library. These peptides were mixed with assembly of amyloid-beta in aqueous solution. Amyloid-beta is thought to be a causative agent of Alzheimer's disease. Of these fluorescent dye-modified peptides, the peptide bound to amyloid-beta strongly was found by fluorescence patterns of these fluorescent dyes modified to peptides.
