Human Amylin in the Presence of SARS-COV-2 Protein Fragments

[Image: see text] COVID-19 can lead to the onset of type-II diabetes, which is associated with the aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptides, also called amylin. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate how the equilibrium between amylin monomers in its functional form and fibrils associ...

description [Image: see text] COVID-19 can lead to the onset of type-II diabetes, which is associated with the aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptides, also called amylin. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate how the equilibrium between amylin monomers in its functional form and fibrils associated with diabetes is altered in the presence of SARS-COV-2 protein fragments. For this purpose, we study the interaction between the fragment SFYVYSRVK of the envelope protein or the fragment FKNIDGYFKI of the spike protein with the monomer and two amylin fibril models. Our results are compared with earlier work studying such interactions for the two different proteins.
