Conformational Preferences of a 14-Residue Fibrillogenic Peptide from Acetylcholinesterase

[Image: see text] A 14-residue fragment from near the C-terminus of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is believed to have a neurotoxic/neurotrophic effect acting via an unknown pathway. While the peptide is α-helical in the full-length enzyme, the structure and association mechanism of the frag...
