摘要: To probe the role of temperature in conversion soluble Alzheimer's beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) to insoluble beta-sheet rich aggregates, we analyzed solution conformation Abeta(1-40) from 0 98 degrees C by far-UV circular dichroism (CD) and native gel electrophoresis. The CD spectra 15-300 microg/ml aqueous (pH approximately 4.6) at are concentration-independent suggest a substantially unfolded and/or unusually folded characteristic Abeta monomer or dimer. Heating 37 induces rapid reversible coil beta-strand transition that is independent concentration thus not linked oligomerization. Consequently, this may occur within Incubation leads slow concentration-dependent accumulation; heating 85 further folding Our results demonstrate importance thermal history for Abeta.
