Amyloid fibrils result from a particular type of protein aggregation, and have been linked with various disorders, including neurodegenerative ones. In the case of Alzheimer’s disease, amyloid beta (abeta) fibrils are detected in patients’ brain, in the amyloid plaques. These fibrils can be produced in vitro, and their injection into animals’ brains generates an animal model of Alzheimer’s...
Studies on the structure and physico-chemical properties of amyloid fibrils are important with regard to a better understanding of amyloid diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Insulin is used as a protein model which is easily driven toward amyloid formation. In the present study, five sets of 15 ns molecular dynamics simulations were performed on insulin in order to observe the initial structural changes...
