Structural Convergence Among Diverse, Toxic β-Sheet Ion Channels

[Image: see text] Recent studies show that an array of β-sheet peptides, including N-terminally truncated Aβ peptides (Aβ(11−42/17−42)), K3 (a β(2)-microglobulin fragment), and protegrin-1 (PG-1) peptides form ion channel-like structures and elicit single channel ion conductance when reconstituted i...
