Understanding the mechanism responsible for the progression of amyloid deposition is important for developing methods to suppress this process in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The effects of physical damage during the transition phase of amyloid β fibril formation are unclear. In this study, we used high‐speed atomic force microscopy to investigate the effects of damage to the intermediates of amyloid β in real time. Physical damage to intermediates did not suppress, but instead promoted fibrillization. This progression was accompanied by morphological changes from globular oligomers to protofibrils. These results suggest that the properties of the intermediates, such as structural fragility and stability, are highly related to the rate of fibrillization.
