Using replica exchange molecular dynamics, we study the effect of Asp23Tyr mutation on Aβ10−40fibril growth. The effect of this mutation is revealed through the computation of free energy landscapes, the distributions of peptide−fibril interactions, and by comparison with the wild-type Aβ10−40peptide. Asp23Tyr mutation has a relatively minor influence on the docking of Aβ peptides to the fibril. However, it has a strong impact on the locking stage due to profound stabilization of the parallel in-registry β-sheets formed by the peptides on the fibril edge. The enhanced stability of parallel β-sheets results from the deletion of side chain interactions formed by Asp23, which are incompatible with the fibril-like conformers. Consequently, Asp23Tyr mutation is expected to promote fibril growth. We argue that strong off-registry side chain interactions may slow down fibril assembly as it occurs for the wild-type Aβ peptide. The analysis of experimental data offers support to ourin silicoconclusions.
