Melatonin Inhibits hIAPP Oligomerization by Preventing β-Sheet and Hydrogen Bond Formation of the Amyloidogenic Region Revealed by Replica-Exchange Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is highly related to the abnormal self-assembly of the human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) into amyloid aggregates. To inhibit hIAPP aggregation is considered a promising therapeutic strategy for T2D treatment. Melatonin (Mel) was reported to effectively...
