摘要
Decoupling conformational changes from aggregation will help us understand amyloids better. Here we attach Alzheimer's amyloid-beta(1-40) monomers to silver nanoparticles, preventing their aggregation, and study their conformation under aggregation-favoring conditions using SERS. Surprisingly, the alpha-helical character of the peptide remains unchanged between pH 10.5 and 5.5, while the solubility changes >100X. Amyloid aggregation can therefore start without significant conformational changes.
