Simulation snapshots of the peptide aggregate interactions with various ions.

Caption

Simulation results of the effect of ions within 0.1 nm on the peptides in the systems under study: (a) no salt, (b) 0.15 M NaCl, (c) 0.15 M NH4Cl, and (d) 0.15 M NaNO3. Coloring: beta sheet = yellow; Na+ = green; NH4+ = blue and white; Cl- = purple; and NO3− = blue and red.
