Rapid α-oligomer formation mediated by the Aβ C terminus initiates an amyloid assembly pathway

The elucidation of amyloid nucleation mechanisms remains challenging as early oligomeric intermediates are transient and difficult to distinguish. Here the authors use Aβ- polyglutamine hybrid peptides designed to slow and limit amyloid maturation to provide insights into the structures of Aβ self-a...
