Atomic-resolution structure of a disease-relevant Aβ(1–42) amyloid fibril
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease still with no known cure. The disease is characterized by the development of extracellular plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. The senile plaques consist mainly of the peptide amyloid-β (Aβ) in aggregated form, called amyloid fibrils. It is believed that the Aβ amyloid fibrils play an important role in disease progression and cell-to-cell transmissibility, and small Aβ oligomers are often assumed to be the most neurotoxic species. Here, we determined the 3D structure of a disease-relevant Aβ(1–42) fibril polymorph combining data from solid-state NMR spectroscopy and mass-per-length measurements from EM. The 3D structure is composed of two molecules per fibril layer, forming a double-horseshoe–like cross–β-sheet entity with maximally buried hydrophobic side chains.

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.
