Is the viscoelasticity of Alzheimer's Abeta42 peptide oligomers a general property of protein oligomers related to their toxicity?

The largest group of protein misfolding diseases is associated with the conversion of specific peptides or proteins from their soluble functional states into highly organized fibrillar aggregates named amyloid fibrils or plaques. The amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) is involved in pathogenesis of Alzhei...
