The toxicity of amyloid ß oligomers by Zhao, Li Na, Long, Hon Wai, Mu, Yuguang, Chew, Lock Yue

“…Such interaction gives rises to phase transitions in the sub-structures of the Aβ peptide from α-helical to β-sheet structure. By means of a coarse-grained model, we exhibit the tendency of β-sheet structures to aggregate, thus providing further insights to the process of membrane induced aggregation. …”
