Ring-like N-fold Models of Aβ(42) fibrils

When assembling as fibrils Aβ(40) peptides can only assume U-shaped conformations while Aβ(42) can also arrange as S-shaped three-stranded chains. We show that this allows Aβ(42) peptides to assemble pore-like structures that may explain their higher toxicity. For this purpose, we develop a scalable...
