Effects of End-Terminal Capping on Transthyretin (105–115) Amyloid Protofibrils Using Steered Molecular Dynamics

Numerous degenerative diseases are associated with amyloidosis, which can be caused by amyloid proteins. These amyloid proteins are generated from misfolded and denatured amyloid monomers under physiological conditions. Changes in protonation state, pH, ionic strength, and temperature, in addition t...
