Show abstract
Covid-19 can lead to the onset of type-II diabetes which is associated with aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptides, also called amylin. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate how the equilibrium, between amylin monomers in its functional form and fibrils associated with diabetes, is altered in presence of SARS-COV-2 protein fragments. For this purpose, we study the interaction between the fragment SFYVYSRVK of the Envelope protein or the fragment FKNIDGYFKI of the Spike protein with the monomer and two amylin fibril models. Our results are compared with earlier work studying such interactions for two different proteins.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
