Using autoradiography and cryo-EM, we identify AD brain tissue with elevated tau burden, purify filaments, and determine the structure of second-generation high avidity PET ligand MK-6240 at 2.31 Å resolution, which bound at a 1:1 ratio within the cleft of tau paired-helical filament (PHF), engaging with glutamine 351, lysine 353, and isoleucine 360. This information elucidates the basis of MK-6240 PET in quantifying PHF deposits in AD and may facilitate the structure-based design of superior ligands against tau amyloids. #1: Journal: Biorxiv / Year: 2023Title: Alzheimer's disease PHF complexed with PET ligand MK-6240 Authors: Kunach, P. / Shahmoradian, S.H. / Diamond, M.I. / Rosa-Neto, P. | |||||||||||||||
