摘要：

We have observed the conformation switching of Abeta(11-25) in the course of amyloid aggregation by employing time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The amyloid peptides undergo multi-step conformational changes during self-assembling such as random coil (monomers), collapsed coil (multimers), micellar structure, and extended P-sheet in fibrils. We first identified the critical micelle concentration of Abeta(11-25) that occurs at ca. 3 muM for pH 5.0 and ca. 70 muM for pH 7.4. Our experimental results show clearly that the end-to-end distance of micellar Abeta(11-25) becomes much shorter than that of the collapsed coil or fibril structure. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
