Nanomechanical Characterization of Amyloid Fibrils Using Single-Molecule Experiments and Computational Simulations

Figure 4

Vibrational characteristics of A amyloid fibrils computed from elastic network model. Four low-frequency vibrational modes correspond to the twisting, two bending, and axial stretching modes, respectively. Here, low-frequency vibrational modes are shown for three different types of A amyloid fibrils with their length of 9.64, 19.28, and 28.92 nm, respectively.
