Abstract

Using a spectrophotometric method changes occurring in solution containing brain Aβ(1-42)-peptide, fullerene C60, and polyvinylpyrrolidone were analyzed. Using the Bent-French method relative binding constants of fullerene C60 with Aβ(1-42)-peptide and polyvinylpyrrolidone with Aβ(1-42)- peptide were determined. These data suggest that Aβ(1-42)-peptide interacting with the C60 fullerene-polyvinylpyrrolidone complex partially displaces polyvinylpyrrolidone and generates a new three molecular compound.
