Free cholesterol induces higher β-sheet content in Aβ peptide oligomers by aromatic interaction with Phe19.

Accumulating experimental evidence support an enhancing effect of free cholesterol on amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation. To probe the mechanisms of cholesterol-mediated Aβ aggregation, we applied all-atom molecular dynamic simulations on Aβ42 peptides in presence of free cholesterol. Several control sys...
