Abstract

Amyloid fibrils characterize a diverse group of human diseases that includes Alzheimer’s disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob and type II diabetes. Alzheimer’s amyloid fibrils consist of Aβ peptide and occur in a range of structurally different fibril morphologies. Using electron cryo-microscopy and three-dimensional reconstruction, we have determined here the structural characteristics of twelve single Aβ(1–40) amyloid fibrils, all formed under the same solution conditions. We find that the majority of analyzed fibrils form a range of morphologies that show almost continuously altering structural properties. The observed fibril polymorphism implies that amyloid formation can lead, for the same polypeptide sequence, to many different patterns of inter- or intra-residue interactions. This property differs significantly from native, monomeric protein folding reactions that produce, for one protein sequence, only one ordered conformation and only one set of inter-residue interactions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
