Early amyloid β-protein aggregation precedes conformational change

Abstract

The aggregation of amyloid-β protein (1–42) is studied at experimental concentrations using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. We observe a fast aggregation into oligomers without significant changes in the internal structure of individual proteins. The aggregation process is characterized in terms of transition networks.
