Intrinsic determinants of Aβ(12-24) pH-dependent self-assembly revealed by combined computational and experimental studies.

The propensity of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide to self-assemble into highly ordered amyloid structures lies at the core of their accumulation in the brain during Alzheimer's disease. By using all-atom explicit solvent replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations, we elucidated at the atomic level...
