To monitor the effect of 6-gingerol on Aβ40 aggregation kinetics, 15 µM control sample without 6-gingerol but containing 2% DMSO was prepared. the samples to aggregate into mature fibrils that could be observed with AFM imaging gingerol, has minor effects on the aggregation kinetics, i.e. by slightly increasing the With 6-gingerol, some additions produce aggregation kinetics µM 6-gingerol appears to speed up the aggregation (τlag = 0.5 h; τ½ = 1.7 h). gingerol has no systematic effect on Aβ40 aggregation or amyloid formation. sample with 300 µM of 6-gingerol and 2% DMSO does however display a different interactions between 6-gingerol and the monomeric Aβ40 peptide.
