Polyglutamine Aggregates Impair Lipid Membrane Integrity and Enhance Lipid Membrane Rigidity

Lipid membranes are suggested as the primary target of amyloid aggregates. We study aggregates formed by a polyglutamine (polyQ) peptide, and their disruptive effect on lipid membranes. Using solution atomic force microscopy (AFM), we observe polyQ oligomers coexisting with short fibrils, which have...
