## Abstract In this work we have probed the interactions of the amyloid Aβ(1–42) peptide with self‐assembled nanospheres. The nanospheres were formed by self‐assembly of a newly developed bolaamphiphile bis(__N__‐alpha‐amido‐methionine)‐1,8 octane dicarboxylate under aqueous conditions. It was foun
## Abstract **Summary:** The conformational change of the 39–43 residues of the amyloid __β__‐peptide (A__β__) toward a __β__‐sheet enriched state promotes self‐aggregation of the peptide molecules and constitutes the major peptide component of the amyloid plaques in Alzheimer patients. The crucial
## Abstract It is generally postulated that amyloid‐β‐peptides play a central role in the progressive neurodegeneration observed in Alzheimer's disease. Important pathological properties of these peptides, such as neurotoxicity and resistance to proteolytic degradation, depend on the ability of amy
