Data showing the lipid conformations and membrane binding behaviors of beta-amyloid fibrils in phase-separated cholesterol-enriched lipid domains with and without glycolipid and oxidized cholesterol from coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations.

The structural conformations of phospholipids and cholesterol in phase-separated lipid domains were determined by surface area, transverse density profile, and lipid acyl chain orientational parameter calculations. Binding kinetics and characterization of membrane-bound states of beta-amyloid fibrils of various sizes (dimer to pentamer), on those lipid domains, were determined using protein residue orientational parameter and fibril-residue-lipid minimum distance analysis methods. The energy of binding and characterization of annular lipid shells surrounding the surface-bound amyloid fibrils were also determined. The calculations described above support the article "Coarse-Grained MD simulations Reveal Diverse Membrane-Bound Conformational States of Beta-Amyloid Fibrils in the Liquid-ordered and Liquid-disordered Regions of Phase-Separated Lipid Rafts Containing Glycolipid, Cholesterol and Oxidized Cholesterol (Cheng et al., 2020 [1])". The reported data is valuable for the future design and analysis of any protein fibrils binding to phase-separated lipid domains in model multi-component lipids membranes using either atomistic or coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Additionally, this data can guide or validate future single-molecule experiments on fibril/membrane interactions in model or cell membranes.
