The study found that a chemical compound called [Re(CO)3(dppz)(Py)]+ can bind to Alzheimer's-related Aβ fibrils. When exposed to light, the compound undergoes changes and oxidizes the fibril. Computer simulations predict binding in a hydrophobic crevice between Val18 and Phe20. Oxidation occurs at Met35.
