摘要：

Here we propose a method to monitor and investigate conformational changes of peptides of high biomedical interest on conventional and nanostructured surfaces by synchrotron infrared micro-spectroscopy. The presence of surfaces with different wettability and the influence of external agents such as acetylcholinesterase and curcumin resulted in marked secondary structure variations of several amyloid-beta fragments (namely A beta(12-28), A beta(25-35), A beta(1-40), A beta(1-42)). The platform could represent a useful tool for the investigation of early stage structural modifications of peptides involved in pathologies of different kind. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
