Structural Properties of Human IAPP Dimer in Membrane Environment Studied by All-Atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) can damage the membrane of the β-cells in the pancreatic islets and induce type 2 diabetes (T2D). Growing evidences indicated that the major toxic species are small oligomers of IAPP. Due to the fast aggregation nature, it is hard to charact...
