Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of the 42-residue amyloid beta-protein (Abeta42) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite numerous structural studies on Abeta aggregates, the relationship between tertiary structure and toxicity remains unclear. Our proline scanning and solid-state NMR studies suggested that aggregates both of wild-type Abeta42 and of E22K-Abeta42 (one of the mutants related to...
