The infrared optical response of amyloid fibrils Aβ(1-40) is investigated. Simulations of two models corresponding to different protonation states are compared with experiment. The simulations reveal that vibrational frequency distributions inside the fibrils are dominated by side chain fluctuations. We further confirm earlier suggestions based on 2D-IR measurements that water molecules can be trapped inside the fibrils.
研究了淀粉样纤维 Aβ(1-40)的红外光学响应。比较了对应于不同质子化状态的两种模型的模拟与实验结果。模拟表明,纤维内部的振动频率分布主要由侧链波动决定。我们进一步证实了基于 2D-IR 测量的早期建议,即水分子可以被困在纤维内部。
