X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy data for amyloid formation of Aß40 and Aß42.

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "One of the possible mechanisms of amyloid fibrils formation based on the sizes of primary and secondary folding nuclei of Aß40 and Aß42" (Dovidchenko et al., 2016) [1]. Aß peptide is one of the most intensively studied amyloidogenic peptides. Despite the huge number of articles devoted to studying different fragments of Aß peptide there are only several papers with correct kinetics data, also there are a few papers with X-ray data, especially for Aß42. Our data present X-ray diffraction patterns both for Aß40 and Aß42 as well for Tris-HCl and wax. Moreover, our data provide kinetics of amyloid formation by recombinant Аß40 and synthetic Аß42 peptides by using electron microscopy.
