Comparative molecular dynamics simulations of pathogenic and non-pathogenic huntingtin protein monomers and dimers

Polyglutamine expansion at the N-terminus of the huntingtin protein exon 1 (Htt-ex1) is closely associated with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, which result from the aggregation of the increased polyQ repeat. However, the underlying structures and aggregation mechanism are still poorly under...
