Two-faced culprit: Fibrils of recombinantly produced amyloid β peptides (Aβs; residues 1–40) gave well-resolved solid-state NMR spectra. Two sets of resonances corresponding to residues 12–40 and 21–38 of the Aβ primary sequence were observed (see picture). Statistical analysis of electron microscopy data revealed that it was composed of a single Aβ polymorph, thus indicating that this Aβ fibril is composed of an asymmetric dimer.
