Abstract :
In this study, Aβ1-42 aggregation was analyzed, the results show that the association rate constant (ka) is strongly dependent upon the Aβ concentration, but the dissociation rate constant (kd) has no significant change. The Aβ1-42 protein is capable of higher tendency than Aβ1-40 to produce self-assembly.
