Nonfibrillar β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers are considered as major neurotoxic species in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. The presence of Aβ oligomers was shown to cause membrane disruptions in a broad range of model systems. However, the molecular basis of such a disruption process remains unknown. We previously demonstrated that membrane-incorporated 40-residue Aβ (Aβ<sub>40</sub>) oligomers could form coaggregates with phospholipids. This process occurred more rapidly than the fibrillization ...[more]
