摘要
The secondary structure of full-length A beta(1-40) and. A beta(1-42) peptides in films has been investigated with IR and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy. From IR spectra, it is shown that the prepared films of A beta(1-40) and A beta(1-42) mainly comprise the beta-sheet conformation that is characteristic of aggregated and fibrous A beta. In the VCD spectra, the A beta(1-42) film shows an intense and sharp band with left-handed optical activity at around 1625 cm(-1), while the A beta(1-40) film shows a weak and broad band with right-handed activity at around 1630 cm(-1). The wavenumbers are characteristic of the beta-sheet conformation. It has been clarified that the aggregated A beta(1-42) adopts the beta-sheet conformation with reverse optical activity compared with the aggregated A beta(1-40). The left-handed optically active beta-sheet of the aggregated A beta(1-42) may contribute to the formation of protofibrils, which are a cause for the higher neurotoxicity of A beta(1-42) fibrils than A beta(1-40) fibrils.
