## Abstract In this DFT study, a mechanism of the oxidation of methionine (Met) amino acid residue catalyzed by the metal (Cu^2+^, Zn^2+^, and Fe^3+^) bound amyloid beta (AΞ²) peptide has been proposed. Based on experimental information, two different mechanisms: (1) stepwise and (2) concerted mecha
