Aggregation of the Aβ1-40 peptide is linked to the development of extracellular plaques characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. While previous studies commonly show the Aβ1-40 is largely unstructured in solution, we show that Aβ1-40 can adopt a compact, partially folded structure. In this structure, the central hydrophobic region of the peptide forms a 310 helix from H13 to D23 and the N- and C-termini collapse against the helix due to the clustering of hydrophobic residues. Helical intermediates have been predicted to be crucial on-pathway intermediates in amyloid fibrillogenesis, and the structure presented here presents a new target for investigation of early events in Aβ1-40 fibrillogenesis.
