Description Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia; however, effective treatment is not yet available. Mechanism of the disease involves formation of neurotoxic oligomers of beta-amyloid peptides. These peptides are produced mainly by beta-secretase thus inhibition of the enzyme might be a way to treat the disease. In order to study enzyme’s inhibition – preferably with unlabeled substrates – high method’s sensitivity is demanded. Consequently, highly sensitive capillary electrophoresis based method with contactless conductivity detection was developed.
