Exploring the misfolding and self-assembly mechanism of TTR (105–115) peptides by all-atom molecular dynamics simulation

Pathological aggregation of essentially dissociative Transthyretin (TTR) monomers protein, driven by misfolded and self-interaction, is connected with Amyloid Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) disease. The TTR monomers protein contains several fragments that tend to self-aggregate, such as residue 10...
