The Luminescent Oligothiophene p-FTAA Converts Toxic Aβ(1–42) Species into Nontoxic Amyloid Fibers with Altered Properties

Aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the brain leads to the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques, which is one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease (AD). It is a general hypothesis that soluble prefibrillar assemblies of the Aβ peptide, rather than mature amyloid fibrils,...
