title: Copper-β-amyloid peptides exhibit neither monooxygenase nor superoxide dismutase activities.
abstract: Contrary to earlier claims, the Cu(II) complex with the soluble Aβ16 peptide, and also that with Aβ28 exhibit no phenol monooxygenase (tyrosinase-like) activity; the complexes neither exhibit superoxide dismutase activity.
