We report DFT calculations that indicate β-sheet formation involving the capped amino acid sequence, VQIVYK, to be due (at least in part) to cooperative H-bonding between the glutamine side chains. The sequence, VQIVYK, has been reported to be essential for the aggregation of the protein tau into the amyloids associated with Alzheimer's disease, and has been crystallized. Sheets containing only capped Q's form cooperative H-bonds between the side chains which enhance stabilization while keeping the backbones of the individual strands close to the quasi planarity expected for a β-sheet. Sheets containing only capped A's cannot form H-bonds between the side-chains, do not interact cooperatively and form helical structures which deviate considerably from the quasi-planarity expected for β-sheets. Comparisons between the sheets made from capped VQIVYK's, Q's and A's illustrate the importance of the cooperative H-bonds between the Q's to the stability of tau-amyloids.
