Abstract: 

The interaction of Aβ with synaptosomal plasma membranes decreases membrane fluidity. Using model membrane/Iiposome systems the interaction of Aβ with specific lipids (e.g. phospholipids, gangliosides, cholesterol) has been defined. The formation of the β-sheet structure of Aβ when undergoing peptide aggregation is important for Aβ’s membrane perturbing properties. This effect can be correlated with the peptide length of Aβ, the longer Aβ_1-42 having the greatest effect on membrane fluidity and on neurotoxicity.
