abstract：:Aggregation of the Aβ(1-40) peptide is linked to the development of extracellular plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. While previous studies commonly show the Aβ(1-40) is largely unstructured in solution, we show that Aβ(1-40) can adopt a compact, partially folded structure. In this structure (PDB ID: 2LFM)...
