Molecular Dynamics Simulations Reveal PolyQ-Length-Dependent Conformational Changes in Huntingtin Exon-1: Implications for Environmental Co-Solvent Modulation of Aggregation-Prone States

Jai Geddes-Nelson, Xiaochen Liu, Ken-Tye Yong

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by CAG-repeat expansion in HTT, which lengthens the polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in huntingtin (HTT) and promotes misfolding and aggregation. Whi…
