- Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions of people world-wide. Alzheimer's amyloid-b peptide forms amorphous aggregates or amyloid fibrils. However, recent studies indicate that soluble oligomers instead of fibrils may form probably most neurotoxic species. These oligomeric aggregates are difficult to study by traditional structural experimental techniques. NMR diffusometry offer useful additional possibilities. In freshly-prepared solutions (without any pre-aggregates of the peptide) diffusion of the peptide can often be described by an unique diffusion kinetics, which corresponds to the calculated diffusion coefficient of the amyloid- b peptide monomers with the Stokes-Einstein hard-sphere approximation (typically D ~10-10 m2/s). In a quasi-equilibrium or in pulse-induced conditions, new larger aggregates of Ab with diffusion coefficients down to <1×10-13 m2/s were detected. 2D 1H NMR NOESY provides both an additional evidence of aggregation and also reveals most probable sites of the side chain interactions in the aggregates. "Pulse-like" treatment of the sample involves: (i) changing of the solution composition; (ii) freezing-thawing; and (iii) sonication of the sample in the course of its incubation. Putative aggregation mechanisms and structures of monomers and oligomers in solutions at different conditions are discussed.1. Filippov A., Sulejmanova A., Antzutkin O. and Gröbner G.
