Structural character of α-syn12 peptide in solution at high pH

Abstract

The dynamics and structural character of a-syn12 peptide in aqueous solution at high pH has been investigated through temperature replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations by using GROMOS 43A1 force field. The isolated a-syn12 peptide adopts in water an a-helix structure at high pH. These results are distinct from other amyloid disease protein at neutral pH.
