a

τ, the half-time for the C-terminus to diffuse from its initial location to its anchor site is found from Aβ from the sigmoidal fit (Eq. (1) or Eq. (2)).

b

Number of helices (nH(τ)) in the non-LID (Asp-1 to Asn-27) or LID region (Lys-28 to C-terminus) of Aβ at τ.

c

Fractional helical content (θH(τ) = nH(τ)/ nH(0)) in the non-LID or LID region of Aβ at τ. Here nH(0) is the initial number of helices before the simulations as given by the number listed in the A0-D0 row. All nH calculations (mean ± SE) were from the DSSP analysis averaged over the 100 ps centered at τ.
