Graphical Abstract

Anorganische Amyloidinhibitoren: Vier Arten von Polyoxometallaten (POMs) erwiesen sich als effiziente Inhibitoren der Amyloidbildung durch Amyloid-β-Peptide (Aβ; siehe Bild: anders als das obere POM (rot) inhibierte das untere (dunkelgrün) die Amyloidbildung). Die Inhibitionsselektivität der POMs beruht auf größenspezifischen elektrostatischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den POMs und Aβ über die Bindung an die positiv geladene His13–Lys16-Clusterregion von Aβ.
