Milligram-scale assembly and NMR fingerprint of tau fibrils adopting the Alzheimer's disease fold.

Abstract excerpt

In the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, the microtubule-associated protein tau aggregates into paired helical filaments in which each protofilament has a C-shaped conformation. In vitro assembly of tau fibrils adopting this fold is highly valuable for both fundamental and applied studies of AD without requiring patient-brain extracted fibrils. To date, reported methods for forming AD-fold tau fibrils have been...
