Effect of Piedmont mutation (L34V) on the structure, dynamics, and aggregation of Alzheimer's Aβ40 peptide.

Abstract excerpt

The amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation in the brain has been associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The previous studies have reported that Piedmont mutation (L34V) increases the rate of Aβ40 aggregation. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of the effect of L34V mutation on Aβ40 structure, dynamics, and aggregation remains largely unclear. In the present study, molecular dynamics (MD)...
