Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence suggests that amyloidogenic oligomers may be the toxic species in cell cultures. Thus, it is crucial to understand their structure and oligomerization mechanism in atomistic detail. By employing tens of fast central processing units and an advanced phase-space sampling algorithm, parallel-tempering molecular dynamics, we have explored the energy landscape of amyloidogenic peptide oligomerization...
