Characteristics of amyloid-related oligomers revealed by crystal structures of macrocyclic β-sheet mimics

C Liu, MR Sawaya, PN Cheng, J Zheng… - Journal of the …, 2011 - ACS Publications
Protein amyloid oligomers have been strongly linked to amyloid diseases and can be
intermediates to amyloid fibers. β-Sheets have been identified in amyloid oligomers …

The Alzheimer's amyloid-β (1–42) peptide forms off-pathway oligomers and fibrils that are distinguished structurally by intermolecular organization
