TABLE I.

Simulated properties for the Aβ42 and Aβ43 peptides for each sampling method-force field combination. Mean and standard deviation averaged over two independent trajectories, except for the 0.8 µs TREx simulation, where block averaging over two 250 ns blocks was used. We noted a systematic shift in J-couplings between the two experimental datasets from Conicella and Fawzi4 and Roche et al.; we have applied a −0.4 Hz shift to the Aβ43 Ji values from Conicella and Fawzi before comparison which would bring the Aβ42 results in line with each other to the simulated J-couplings.
