Abstract excerpt
Amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation into toxic oligomers and fibrils is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The Aβ16-22 fragment plays a critical role in the early stages of the aggregation of full-length Aβ peptides. Aggregation of Aβ16-22 is primarily driven by hydrophobic interactions within the LVFF core and electrostatic attraction between flanking residues K16 (+) and E22 (-). To dissect the relative contributions of...
