Interactions between amyloid beta-peptides (A beta) and neuronal membranes have been postulated to play an important role in the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease. To gain insight into the molecular details of this association, we investigated the interactions of A beta (1-40) with ganglioside-containing membranes by circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared-polarized attenuated total reflection (FTIR-PATR) spectroscopy. The CD study revealed that at physiological ionic strength A beta (1-40) specifically binds to ganglioside-containing membranes inducing a two-state, unordered --> beta-sheet transition above a threshold intramembrane ganglioside concentration, which depends on the host lipid bilayers used. Furthermore, differences in the number and position of sialic acid residues of the carbohydrate backbone significantly affected the conformational transition of the peptide. FTIR-PATR spectroscopy experiments demonstrated that A beta (1-40) forms an antiparallel beta-sheet, the plane of which lies parallel to the membrane surface, inducing dehydration of lipid interfacial groups and perturbation of acyl chain orientation. These results suggest that A beta (1-40) imposes negative curvature strain on ganglioside-containing lipid bilayers, disturbing the structure and function of the membranes.
