Figure 4. Visualization by EM of the Aβ (1–42) peptide aggregation process in the presence of HtrA2.
Reaction mixtures containing Aβ (1–42) alone or in the presence of HtrA2 or HSA were incubated at 37 °C. At selected times aliquots of A) Aβ (1–42) alone, B) Aβ (1–42) + HtrA2 and C) Aβ (1–42) + HSA were deposited on continuous carbon grids and negatively stained. Samples were imaged under low-dose conditions at a nominal magnification of 10,000× (larger area on micrograph) and 25,000× (boxed in region on micrograph).
