pubmed:abstractText
The molecular basis of fibril formation in Alzheimers disease was explored by electron micrographic and x-ray diffraction analysis of a series of synthetic peptides corresponding to portions of the amino acid sequence of beta protein and that of its putative precursor. A minimum 14 residue peptide was identified that formed typical amyloid fibrils under physiological conditions. Of these 14 residues, 10 were sufficient to give an identical 4.76 A and 10.6 A diffraction pattern as that recently described for isolated neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid plaque cores and leptomeningeal amyloid fibrils.
