Proposed mechanism for the rapid strain-induced transformation of Aβ from an IDP alpha conformation to a beta hairpin conformation through extensional stretching distortion. This particular alpha state was selected from favored IDP states in [60]. This beta sheet structured molecule may then react quickly with another and possibly form a dimer seed. This aggregation reaction could take place over many stretch-and-release cycles.
