Abstract

Understanding the formation of β-fibrils over the gold surface is of paramount interest in nano-bio-medicinal Chemistry. The intricate mechanism of self-assembly of neurofibrillogenic peptides and their growth over the gold surface remains elusive, as experiments are limited in unveiling the microscopic dynamic details, in particular, at the early stage of the peptide aggregation. In this work, we carried out equilibrium molecular dynamics and enhanced sampling simulations to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the growth of an amyloid-forming sequence of tau fragments over the gold surface. Our results disclose that the collective intermolecular interactions between the peptide chains and peptides with the gold surface facilitate the peptide adsorption, followed by integration, finally leading to the fibril formation.

洞察多肽纤维在金表面生长的机理
了解金表面β纤丝的形成是纳米生物药物化学领域的头等大事。由于实验在揭示微观动态细节方面受到限制,特别是在肽聚集的早期阶段,因此神经纤丝肽的自组装及其在金表面生长的复杂机制仍然难以捉摸。在这项工作中,我们进行了平衡分子动力学和增强采样模拟,以阐明淀粉样形成序列 tau 片段在金表面生长的基本机制。我们的结果表明,肽链和肽与金表面之间的分子间集体相互作用促进了肽的吸附,然后是整合,最后导致纤维的形成。

期刊介绍: Biophysical Chemistry publishes original work and reviews in the areas of chemistry and physics directly impacting biological phenomena. Quantitative analysis of the properties of biological macromolecules, biologically active molecules, macromolecular assemblies and cell components in terms of kinetics, thermodynamics, spatio-temporal organization, NMR and X-ray structural biology, as well as single-molecule detection represent a major focus of the journal. Theoretical and computational treatments of biomacromolecular systems, macromolecular interactions, regulatory control and systems biology are also of interest to the journal.
