Amyloid-β Protofibrils: Size, Morphology and Synaptotoxicity of an Engineered Mimic

Structural and biochemical studies of the aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) are important to understand the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease, but research is complicated by aggregate inhomogeneity and instability. We previously engineered a hairpin form of Aβ called Aβcc, which forms s...
