Pictorial sketch of a biomimetic membrane interacting with Aβ peptides: (A) Aβ peptides in the membrane-active structured-oligomer state (Membrane filling); (B) Aβ peptides in the monomeric state: (B1) monomers embroider the membrane and (B2) peptide oligomerization takes place next to membrane surface (Membrane digging); (C) membrane interacts with the N-terminal Aβ1-6 sequence (Membrane leakage).
