	[[~~Alzheimer’s~~ Disease]] is a terminal disease that slowly degenerates the brain. One of the possible causes of Alzheimer’s is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid amyloid] deposits throughout the brain. Though RNase A oligomers are not the amyloid deposits that cause Alzheimer’s, the folding of these oligomers gives clues about the formation of the amyloid deposits responsible for Alzheimer’s.
