The molecular assembly of amyloid aβ controls its neurotoxicity and binding to cellular proteins.

The molecular assembly of amyloid aβ controls its neurotoxicity and binding to cellular proteins.

Accumulation of β-sheet-rich peptide (Aβ) is strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease, characterized by reduction in synapse density, structural alterations of dendritic spines, modification of synaptic protein expression, loss of long-term potentiation and neuronal cell death. Aβ species a...
