Molecular dynamics simulations of mechanical failure in polymorphic arrangements of amyloid fibrils containing structural defects
We examine how the different steric packing arrangements found in amyloid fibril polymorphs can modulate their mechanical properties using steered molecular dynamics simulations. Our calculations demonstrate that for fibrils containing structural defects, their ability to resist force in a particula...
