Molecular dynamics folding simulation of amyloid A4 peptide in implicit solvent

The objectives of this study is to investigate the pathway of Amyloid A4 peptide (Pdb id: 1AML) folding and to study the interactions involved during the process. The folding process was performed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in implicit solvent method. This protein was simulated up to 3...
