Thermodynamically stable amyloid-β monomers have much lower membrane affinity than the small oligomers

Amyloid beta (Aβ) is an extracellular 39–43 residue long peptide present in the mammalian cerebrospinal fluid, whose aggregation is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Small oligomers of Aβ are currently thought to be the key to toxicity. However, it is not clear why the monomers of Aβ ar...
