Insights into the Effect of Curcumin and (–)-Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate on the Aggregation of Aβ(1–40) Monomers by Means of Molecular Dynamics

In this study, we compared the effects of two well-known natural compounds on the early step of the fibrillation process of amyloid-β (1–40), responsible for the formation of plaques in the brains of patients affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of extensive replica exchange simulations up...
