Structural Polymorphism of Alzheimer’s β-Amyloid Fibrils as Controlled by an E22 Switch: A Solid-State NMR Study
The amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide of Alzheimer's disease (AD) forms polymorphic fibrils on the micrometer and molecular scales. Various fibril growth conditions have been identified to cause polymorphism, but the intrinsic amino acid sequence basis for this polymorphism has been unclear. Several singl...

The amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide of Alzheimer's disease (AD) forms polymorphic fibrils on the micrometer and molecular scales.

The E22G (Arctic) mutant is found in familial AD and forms protofibrils more rapidly than wild-type Aβ.
