Zusammenfassung:Novel peptides capable of interacting with a hydrophobic beta-sheet forming cluster of amino acid residues on a protein or peptide for amyloid or amyloid-like deposit formation inhibit and structurally block the abnormal folding of proteins and peptides into amyloid or amyloid-like deposits and into pathological beta-sheet-rich conformation as precursors thereof. Methods for preventing, treating or detecting disorders or diseases associated with amyloid-like fibril deposits, such as Alzheimer's disease and prion-related encephalopathies, are also provided.
