A structure-toxicity study of Aß42 reveals a new anti-parallel aggregation pathway.

Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides produced by APP cleavage are central to the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. Despite widespread interest in this issue, the relationship between the auto-assembly and toxicity of these peptides remains controversial. One intriguing feature stems from their capacity t...
