+  abstract = {The amyloid $\beta$-protein (A$\beta$) has been
+    implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.  The role
+    of the structure and dynamics of the central A$\beta_{21-30}$
+    decapeptide region of the full-length A$\beta$ is considered
+    crucial in the aggregation pathway of A$\beta$. Here we report
+    results of isobaric--isothermal (NPT) all-atom explicit water
+    molecular dynamics simulations of the monomeric form of the
+    wild-type A$\beta_{21-30}$ fragment in aqueous salt environments
+    formed by neurobiologically important group IA (\NaCl, \KCl) and
+    group IIA (\CaCl, \MgCl) salts. Our simulations reveal the
+    existence of salt-specific changes to secondary structure
+    propensities, lifetimes, hydrogen bonding, salt-bridge formation,
+    and decapeptide--ion contacts of this decapeptide. These results
+    suggest that aqueous environments with the \CaCl\ salt, and to a
+    much lesser extent the \MgCl\ salt, have profound effects by
+    increasing random coil structure propensities and lifetimes and
+    diminishing intrapeptide hydrogen bonding. These effects are
+    rationalized in terms of direct cation--decapeptide contacts and
+    changes to the hydration-shell water molecules. On the other side
+    of the spectrum, environments with the \NaCl\ and \KCl\ salts have
+    little influence on the decapeptide's secondary structure despite
+    increasing hydrogen bonding, salt-bridge formation, and lifetime
+    of turn structures.  The observed enhancement of open structures
+    by group IIA may be of importance in the folding and aggregation
+    pathway of the full-length A$\beta$.},
