Abstract
Kinetic behavior of aggregation of amyloid-β-protein (Aβ) is represented by a stretched exponential function, F=A{1-exp(-Btn)}. Differences in temperature-dependence of A, B and n are studied for Aβ 1-40 and Aβ 1-42. As the temperature is lowered, parameter A is increased, parameter B is decreased and parameter n is increased in Aβ 1-40, while these parameters are less sensitive to temperature in a more hydrophobic protein Aβ 1-42. ln B is a linear function of n, which is shown by ln B = -6.34n + 3.69.
