The scanning simulation method suggested by Meirovitch is extended to a study of the stability of decaglycine at 100 and 300 K. The model is based on the potential energy function ECEPP (Empirical Conformational Energy Program for Peptides) with rigid geometry and without solvent. The free energy of
We performed a systematic study to show that the nicely folded lamellar structure of polyethylene chains derived from previous molecular simulations is a consequence of the use of the united atom model, which treats the CH 2 groups as a hard sphere. Simulations presented here with explicit hydrogen
X-Ray diffraction analysis of the model peptide Boc-Thr-Thr-OCH 3 reveals the existence of distinctive conformational characteristics: semi-extended (=-62.1Β°; =137.1Β°) and semi-folded (=-130.3Β°; T =5.7Β°) of the N-and C-terminus Thr residues, respectively. Surprisingly, an overall significantly 'flat
Aliphatic amides are often used in the synthesis of peptidomimetic compounds. Here we present the structure of two cyclic dimers of aminoundecanoic acid as determined by x-ray diffraction. Each dimer contains two peptide groups and twenty methylene units. In one of the crystal structures, water is a
