TLDR
This review discusses free radical-mediated damage to the biochemical components involved in the pathology and clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and explains how amyloid beta-protein, microtubule-associated protein tau, presenilins, apolipoprotein E, mitochondria and proteases play a role in increasing oxidative stress in AD.

Aging: A Theory Based on Free Radical and Radiation Chemistry

TL;DR: It seems possible that one factor in aging may be related to deleterious side attacks of free radicals (which are normally produced in the course of cellular metabolism) on cell constituents.

The precursor of Alzheimer's disease amyloid A4 protein resembles a cell-surface receptor

TL;DR: An apparently full-length complementary DNA clone coding for the A4 polypeptide is isolated and sequenced and suggests that the cerebral amyloid deposited in Alzheimer's disease and aged Down's syndrome is caused by aberrant catabolism of a cell-surface receptor.

Amyloid plaque core protein in Alzheimer disease and Down syndrome

TL;DR: The shared 4-kDa subunit indicates a common origin for the amyloids of the plaque core and of the congophilic angiopathy of Alzheimer disease and Down syndrome.
