Abstract

AD (Alzheimer's disease) is linked to Aβ (amyloid β-peptide) misfolding. Studies demonstrate that the level of soluble Aβ oligomeric forms correlates better with the progression of the disease than the level of fibrillar forms. Conformation-dependent antibodies have been developed to detect either Aβ oligomers or fibrils, suggesting that structural differences between these forms of Aβ exist. Using conditions which yield well-defined Aβ-(1–42) oligomers or fibrils, we studied the secondary structure of these species by ATR (attenuated total reflection)–FTIR (Fouriertransform infrared) spectroscopy. Whereas fibrillar Aβ was organized in a parallel β-sheet conformation, oligomeric Aβ displayed distinct spectral features, which were attributed to an antiparallel β-sheet structure. We also noted striking similarities between Aβ oligomers spectra and those of bacterial outer membrane porins. We discuss our results in terms of a possible organization of the antiparallel β-sheets in Aβ oligomers, which may be related to reported effects of these highly toxic species in the amyloid pathogenesis associated with AD.

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.
