Details
The peptide was obtained by dissolving Amyloid β-Protein (1-40) in HFIP, aliquoting, and removing the solvent as described in the literature. The morphology of the resulting peptide was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The magenta arrow points to the nucleation centers where aggregation starts. The yellow arrow indicates the fibrils which are formed as long thin helical structures with regular twists.
