Aggregation states of amyloid beta peptides for amyloid beta A β 1–40 to A β 1–42 and A β p
3–42 are investigated through small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The knowledge of
these small peptides and their aggregation state are of key importance for the
comprehension of neurodegenerative diseases (eg, Alzheimer's disease). The SANS
technique allows to study the size and fractal nature of the monomers, oligomers and fibrils
of the three different peptides. Results show that all the investigated peptides have …
Aggregation states of amyloid beta peptides for amyloid beta Aβ1–40 to Aβ1–42 and Aβp3–42 are investigated through small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The knowledge of these small peptides and their aggregation state are of key importance for the comprehension of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). The SANS technique allows to study the size and fractal nature of the monomers, oligomers and fibrils of the three different peptides. Results show that all the investigated peptides have monomers with a radius of gyration of the order of 10 Å, while the oligomers and fibrils display differences in size and aggregation ability, with Aβp3–42 showing larger oligomers. These properties are strictly related to the toxicity of the corresponding amyloid peptide and indeed to the development of the associated disease.
