Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA
Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA is an Aβ42-binding peptide and the pro-apoptotic BH3 domain of the BIM protein. Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA binds Aβ42 with a Kd of 7.1 μM. Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA modulates Aβ42 structure, fibrillization pathways, aggregate morphology, and membrane interactions, inhibiting fibril formation while enhancing protofibril assembly. Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA promotes Aβ42 β-sheet formation and accelerates aggregation. Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA enhances Aβ42 membrane internalization and bilayer stiffening. Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA induces neuronal cell death by enhancing BH3-induced membrane interactions of Aβ42 prefibrillar species. Bim BH3, Peptide IV TFA can be used for research on Alzheimer's disease.

In Vitro
Bim BH3, Peptide IV (5-20 μM) TFA binds to Aβ42 monomers with a Kd of 7.1 x 10-6 M[1].
Bim BH3, Peptide IV (14 hrs) TFA enhances Aβ42 aggregation and fibrillation in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
Bim BH3, Peptide IV (14 h) TFA alters the morphology and increases the abundance of Aβ42 aggregates, forming smaller and thicker fibrillar species[1].
Bim BH3, Peptide IV (1:0.5-1:1 mole ratio, 12.5-25 μM; 0-12 h) TFA accelerates the random coil-to-β sheet structural transformation of Aβ42 in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
Bim BH3, Peptide IV (12.5-25 μM; 10 min-48 h) TFA significantly modulates Aβ42 fibril assembly, promoting the formation of abundant pre-fibrillar and protofibril structures while inhibiting the formation of mature fibrils[1].
Bim BH3, Peptide IV (15-45 μM; 48 h) TFA enhances Aβ42-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells in a concentration-dependent manner, reducing cell viability to around 40%[1].
Bim BH3, Peptide IV (15 μM) TFA enhances Aβ42-induced morphological changes associated with cell death in SH-SY5Y cells[1].
