Pyroglutamylated Amyloid-β Peptide Reverses Cross β-Sheets by a Prion-Like Mechanism

[Image: see text] The amyloid hypothesis causatively relates the fibrillar deposits of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). More recent data, however, identify the soluble oligomers as the major cytotoxic entities. Pyroglutamylated Aβ (pE-Aβ) is present in AD brains and exerts augment...
