Cryo-EM structure and polymorphism of Aβ amyloid fibrils purified from Alzheimer’s brain tissue
Alzheimer’s disease is characterised by the deposition of Aβ amyloid fibrils and tau protein neurofibrillary tangles. Here the authors use cryo-EM to structurally characterise brain derived Aβ amyloid fibrils and find that they are polymorphic and right-hand twisted, which differs from in vitro gene...
