Environment- and mutation-dependent aggregation behavior of Alzheimer amyloid beta-protein.

Abstract excerpt

The deposition of amyloid beta-protein in the brain is a fundamental process in the development of Alzheimerís disease; however, the mechanism underlying aggregation of amyloid beta-protein remains to be determined. Here, we report that a membrane-mimicking environment, generated in the presence of detergents or a ganglioside, is sufficient per se for amyloid fibril formation from soluble amyloid beta-protein....
