Abeta40 and Abeta42 are peptides that adopt similar random-coil structures in solution. Abeta42, however, is significantly more neurotoxic than Abeta40 and forms amyloid fibrils much more rapidly than Abeta40. Here, mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry are used to investigate a mixture of Abeta40 and Abeta42.
