The mechanism of pore formation in model neural cell membranes by β amyloid (Aβ) peptides was investigated using molecular dynamics simulation which indicated that Aβ oligomers of size equal or greater than 3 has a higher tendency for pore formation than monomers and that cholesterol tends to retard Aβ binding and insertion into the membrane.
