Hold them or fold them : The morphology of aggregated amyloid‐β depends on the concentration of Cu 2+ ions, as shown in the TEM images. Distinct differences in the coordination of Cu 2+ ions to amyloid‐β are observed by electron spin resonance as the metal concentration increases. The results suggest a correlation between specific Cu 2+ ion coordination and the overall morphology of aggregates.
