Peptide backbone modifications of amyloid β (1–40) impact fibrillation behavior and neuronal toxicity

Abstract Fibril formation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides is one of the key molecular events connected to Alzheimer’s disease. The pathway of formation and mechanism of action of Aβ aggregates in biological systems is still object of very active research. To this end, systematic modifications of the Phe1...
