The Role of Structural Polymorphism in Driving the Mechanical Performance of the Alzheimer's Beta Amyloid Fibrils

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is related with the abnormal aggregation of amyloid β-peptides Aβ(1−40) and Aβ(1−42), the latter having a polymorphic character which gives rise to U- or S-shaped fibrils. Elucidating the role played by the nanoscale-material architecture on the amyloid fibril stability...
