Modulation in the conformational and stability attributes of the Alzheimer's disease associated amyloid-beta mutants and their favorable stabilization by curcumin: molecular dynamics simulation analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides in brain. In the present study, two familial Aβ42 mutations, namely A2V (harmful) and A2T (protective) have been analyzed and compared with the wild-type (WT) by performing all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in the absence and presence of curcumin, a well-known inhibitor of Aβ...
