Aβ42 oligomers are key toxic species associated with protein aggregation; however, the molecular pathways determining the dynamics of oligomer populations have remained unknown. Now, direct measurements of oligomer populations, coupled to theory and computer simulations, define and quantify the dynamics of Aβ42 oligomers formed during amyloid aggregation.
