Some studies have shown anti-inflammatory effects of mixtures enriched in gMOS. Goat MOS also display prebiotic potential, particularly in stimulating growth of bifidobacteria preferentially. Although functional studies of gMOS are still limited, several structures are also found in human milk and have known functions as immune modulators and pathogen inhibitors. In conclusion, goat milk constitutes a promising alternative source for milk oligosaccharides, which can be used in infant formula.Amyloid protein aggregates are pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD) diseases and are believed to be formed well before the onset of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. Monitoring the course of protein aggregation is thus vital to understanding and combating these diseases. We have recently demonstrated that a novel class of fluorescence sensors, oligomeric p-phenylene ethynylene (PE)-based electrolytes (OPEs) selectively bind to and detect prefibrillar and fibrillar aggregates of AD-related amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides over monomeric Aβ. In this study, we investigated the binding between two OPEs, anionic OPE12- and cationic OPE24+, and to two different β-sheet rich Aβ oligomers using classical all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Our simulations have revealed a number of OPE binding sites on Aβ oligomer surfaces, and these sites feature hydrophobic amino acids as well as oppositely charged amino acids. Binding energy calculations show energetically favorable interactions between both anionic and cationic OPEs with Aβ oligomers. Moreover, OPEs bind as complexes as well as single molecules. Compared to free OPEs, Aβ protofibril bound OPEs show backbone planarization with restricted rotations and reduced hydration of the ethyl ester e
