Abstract excerpt
The A2V mutation was reported to protect from Alzheimer's disease in its heterozygous form and cause an early Alzheimer's disease type dementia in its homozygous form. Experiments showed that the aggregation rate follows the order A2V > WT (wild-type) > A2V-WT. To understand the impact of this mutation, we carried out replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations of Aβ1-40 WT-A2V and A2V-A2V dimers and compared...
