... 28–38, connected by a regulartype I b-turn. The surprising similarity of this structure, aswell as the sequence of the C-terminal moiety, with those of the fusion domain of influenza hemagglutinin ... is the finding that the sequences of the C-terminal part of Ab-(1–42) and that of HA_fd share indeed a high similarity (Fig. 6C) dictatedessentially by the presence of similarly spaced glycineresidues, ... different in the case of Ab,but it is fair to say that the similarity with the fusion domain of a virus is strongly suggestive of membrane disruption. The recent observation of a strong synergism...
