Abstract excerpt
Soluble oligomers of the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) are linked to Alzheimer's disease. Irrespective of the nature of the nucleus before fibril growth, dimers are essential species in Abeta assembly, but their transient character has precluded, thus far, high-resolution structure determination. We have investigated the effects of the point mutation A21G on Abeta dimers by performing high temperature all-atom...
