Research Abstract

Uniform length short polyglutamine peptides (Q_5～Q_<10>) were synthesized and subjected to thioflavin T (ThT) stainning. Formation of ThT-stainable aggregate were observed for polyglutamines longer than 7 residues. Solid-state NMR showed short polyglutamine peptides adopts β-sheet structures.
