We explored the influence of D2O on fibrillation kinetics and structural dynamics amyloid intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), including α-synuclein, amyloid-β 1–42, K18. Our findings revealed that IDPs was accelerated in compared to H2O, exhibiting faster contrast structured protein, insulin. Structural investigations using electrospray ionization ion mobility mass spectrometry small-angle X-ray scattering combined with molecular simulations demonstrated did not show significant changes could D2O. Umbrella sampling protein protofibrils verified an increased level hydrogen bonding enhanced hydrophobic interactions stabilized β-sheet fibrils These indicate stabilizing a more microenvironment result IDPs. The study highlights importance considering D2O's differential impact when conducting kinetic analyses, particularly for native peptides proteins.
