The Development of Alzheimer’s Hinges Significantly On A Misfolded Protein

<p>There are so many different types of proteins in the body. In fact, it is estimated that the human body contains&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mpg.de/11447687/W003_Biology_medicine_054-059.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">80,000&ndash;400,000</a>&nbsp;different types of proteins, and these proteins are present for different purposes in the body.</p> <p>Now, the cells in our body can&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/beingwell/the-xerox-mechanism-is-an-analogous-mimic-of-our-cellular-functions-3ca3377efa1c" rel="noopener">manufacture</a>&nbsp;these proteins via the activity of specific genes within its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) identifier. These proteins are peptide&nbsp;<strong><em>polymers&nbsp;</em></strong>that contain multiple amino acids all fused together. &ldquo;Peptides&rdquo; refer to shorter chain/simpler amino acid polymers, while &ldquo;proteins&rdquo; refer to longer chain/more complex amino acid polymers.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/beingwell/the-development-of-alzheimers-hinges-significantly-on-a-misfolded-protein-5aeecaeb0bc1"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
