A novel bifunctional non-natural tetrapeptide, Met-Asp-d-Trp-Aib, is capable of binding copper, competing with amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) for Cu(ii), and modulating Aβ aggregation. The study of this tetrapeptide provides further insights into the role of Cu(ii) in the Aβ aggregation pathway, and into the design of compounds with therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's disease.
