Newfound effect of N-acetylaspartate in preventing and reversing aggregation of amyloid-beta in vitro

Although N-acetylaspartate (NAA) has long been recognized as the most abundant amino acid in neurons by far, its primary role has remained a mystery. Based on its unique tertiary structure, we explored the potential of NAA to modulate aggregation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide 1-42 via multiple corrob...
