We have investigated the site-specific backbone dynamics of mature amyloid beta (A beta) fibrils using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Overall, the known beta-sheet segments and the turn linking these two beta-strands exhibit high order parameters between 0.8 and 0.95, suggesting low conformational flexibility. The first approximately eight N-terminal and the last C-terminal residues exhibit lower order parameters between similar to 0.4 and 0.8. Interestingly, the order parameters increase again for the first two residues, Asp(1) and Ala(2), suggesting that the N terminus could carry some structural importance.
