In this work we present and compare the results of extensive molecular dynamics simulations of model systems comprising an Aβ1-40 peptide in water, in interaction with short peptides (p-sheet breakers) mimicking the 17-21 region of the Aβ1-40 sequence.Various systems differing in the customized β-sheet breaker (bsb) structure have been studied.Specifically we have considered three kinds of sbs, namely Ac-LPFFD-NH2 and two variants thereof, one obtained by substituting the acetyl group with the sulfonic amino acid taurine (Tau-LPFFD-NH2)and a second novel one in which the aspartic acid is substituted by an asparagine (Ac-LPFFN-NH2).
