Figure 2.

Formation of A${\beta }_{10-40}$ dimer is probed using the temperature dependencies of the numbers of interpeptide side chain contacts $\langle C\left(T\right)\rangle$ and interpeptide hydrophobic contacts $\langle C_h\left(T\right)\rangle$. Data in black and gray correspond to naproxen solution and ligand-free water, respectively. The plot demonstrates that naproxen interference weakens interpeptide interactions.
