A key hallmark of Alzheimers disease (AD) is the extracellular deposition of amyloid plaques composed primarily of the amyloidogenic amyloid-{beta} (A{beta}) peptide. The A{beta} peptide is a product of sequential cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP), the first step of which gives rise to a C-terminal Fragment (C99). Cleavage of C99 by {gamma}-secretase activity releases A{beta} of several lengths and the A{beta}42 isoform in particular has been identified as being neurotoxic. The misfolding of A{beta} leads to subsequent amyloid fibril formation by nucleated polymerisation. This requires an initial and critical nucleus for self-assembly. Here, we identify and characterise the composition and self-assembly properties of cell-derived hexameric A{beta}42 and show its nucleating properties which are dependent on the A{beta} monomer availability. Identification of nucleating assemblies that contribute to self-assembly in this way may serve as therapeutic targets to prevent the formation of toxic oligomers.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
