摘要

The spatial structure of β-amyloid peptide (25-35) was studied using circular dichroism spectroscopy in a medium with conditions similar to the membrane environment. The conformation preference of β-amyloid peptide (25-35) was first studied in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) solution with and without cholesterol using circular dichroism spectroscopy. This peptide was found to adopt α-helix, β-sheet, and β-turn structures along with having irregular regions. The relative proportions of these structural segments were found to depend on the presence of cholesterol. The results of the spectral analysis of β-amyloid peptide (20-35) suggested the secondary structure of this peptide in a lipid solvent. Ordering of the secondary structure of β-amyloid peptide (20-35) was found in the DPPC solution, which has conditions most similar to the environment of the plasma membrane surface.
