Computational Study of Amyloidβ₄₂ Familial Mutations and Metal Interaction: Impact on Monomers and Aggregates Dynamical Behaviors

One of the main hallmarks of Alzheimer's Disease is the formation of β-amyloid plaques, whose formation may be enhanced by metal binding or the appearance of familial mutations. In the present study, the simultaneous effect of familial mutations (E22Q, E22G, E22K, and D23N) and binding to metal ions (Cu(II) or Al(III)) is studied at the Aβ
