Quantum chemical molecular dynamics and metadynamics simulation of aluminium binding to amyloid-β and related peptides

We report semi-empirical tight-binding simulations of the interaction between Al(III) and biologically relevant peptides. The GFN2-XTB method is shown to accurately reproduce previously reported and density functional theory (DFT)-calculated geometries of model systems. Molecular dynamics simulation...
