The structure of nanotubes formed by diphenylalanine, the core recognition motif of Alzheimer's β-amyloid polypeptide
Abstract
Alzheimer's beta-amyloid diphenylalanine motif has previously been shown to self-assemble into discrete and extraordinary stiff nanotubes; these nanotubes were initially thought to be distinct from the single crystal structure of diphenylalanine, but it is now shown that the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the nanotubes is identical to the simulated pattern for the single crystal structure, affording a new foundation for understanding and rationalizing the properties of this remarkable organic material.

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.
