Abstract
Background: β-Structured oligomers of the amyloid β peptide are considered neurotoxic and on-pathway to amyloid fibril formation. Results: Surfactant-induced co-aggregated oligomers show dynamic rapid exchange with free peptide during a slow fibril formation process. Conclusion: β-Structure inducing small molecules kinetically promote peptide assembly into co-aggregates. Significance: Knowledge about molecular mechanisms of peptide aggregation modulators is potentially helpful for therapeutic purposes.
