The aggregation of the peptide amyloid-beta (Abeta) to form amyloid plaques is a key event in Alzheimer's disease. It has been shown that CuII can bind to soluble Abeta and influence its aggregation properties. Three histidines and the N-terminal amine have been proposed to be involved in its coordination.

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a key role in Alzheimer's disease (AD), although the function of this membrane protein is still unclear. Metal ions are implicated in AD and they also interact with APP. APP possesses a strong ZnII binding site, which is evolutionary conserved.
