Abstract
We report that the addition of amino acids to the amyloid peptide dramatically affected the structure and the rate of formation of amyloid fibrils. The attachment of three lysines to Aβ(10-35) gave the formation of remarkably long fibrils, while three glutamates resulted in a faster formation rate of the fibrils.
