Abstract excerpt
The amyloid peptide congener A beta(10--35)-NH(2) is simulated in an aqueous environment in both the wild type (WT) and E22Q "Dutch" mutant forms. The origin of the noted increase in deposition activity resulting from the Dutch mutation is investigated. Multiple nanosecond time scale molecular dynamics trajectories were performed and analyzed using a variety of measures of the peptide's average structure,...
