Abstract excerpt
Amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), while the apoE4 isoform (C112R) represents the strongest genetic risk factor. We combined binding-site mapping and discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) simulations to elucidate isoform-specific apoE-Aβ interactions. Computational peptide-array analysis identified Aβ-binding hotspots in the apoE4 N-terminal domain (NTD) around R112, conferring...
