Abstract excerpt
Using replica exchange molecular dynamics, we study the effect of Asp23Tyr mutation on Abeta(10-40) fibril growth. The effect of this mutation is revealed through the computation of free energy landscapes, the distributions of peptide-fibril interactions, and by comparison with the wild-type Abeta(10-40) peptide. Asp23Tyr mutation has a relatively minor influence on the docking of Abeta peptides to the fibril....
