How to form the fibrillary structure using beta-amyloid peptides?


Aβ-(1–42) was dissolved to 1 mM in 100% hexafluoroisopropanol, hexafluoroisopropanol was removed under vacuum, and the peptide was stored at −20 °C. For the aggregation protocols, the peptide was first resuspended in dry Me2SO (DMSO) to 5 mM. For oligomeric conditions, F-12 (without phenol red) culture media was added to bring the peptide to a final concentration of 100 μM, and the peptide was incubated at 4 °C for 24 h. For fibrillar conditions, 10 mM HCl was added to bring the peptide to a final concentration of 100 μM, and the peptide was incubated for 24 h at 37 °C. ADDLS, amyloid derived diffusible ligands.
