Abstract
Deposition of extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates in the brain is one of the prime hallmarks in Alzheimer disease (AD). While high molecular weight Aβ plaques are observed in post-mortem AD brains, low-molecular weight, soluble Aβ oligomers are the primary toxic agents. Formation of these Aβ oligomers can be catalyzed by several interacting partners such as metal ions, other proteins, and lipids. We have previously demonstrated the generation of conformationally distinct oligomers of Aβ in the presence of lipid micelles.
