Effect of mutation on Aβ1-42-Heme complex in aggregation mechanism: Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Amyloid β (Aβ) peptide aggregation is one of the root causes for Alzheimer's disease. Recently, experimental studies show that three active binding sites (His6, His13 and His14) of Aβ peptides were bound with heme to form Aβ-Heme complex, which leads to inhibit the aggregation process. We apply molecular dynamic simulation to investigate the aggregation pathways of Aβ-Heme peptides. The above three binding sites...
