Used in neuroscience research to study the mechanisms of amyloid aggregation and neurotoxicity associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It serves as a model peptide to investigate cellular oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis in neuronal cultures. Frequently employed in assays to evaluate potential neuroprotective compounds and anti-amyloid agents. Also utilized in structural studies to understand beta-sheet formation and fibril assembly in amyloid peptides.
