## Abstract The evolution of our physics‐based computational methods for determining protein conformation without the introduction of secondary‐structure predictions, homology modeling, threading, or fragment coupling is described. Initial use of a hard‐sphere potential captured much of the structu

## Abstract Electronic and vibrational circular dichroism are often used to determine the secondary structure of proteins, because each secondary structure has a unique spectrum. Little is known about the vibrational circular dichroic spectroscopic features of the β‐hairpin. In this study, the VCD
The importance of b-peptides lies in their ability to mimic the conformational behavior of a-peptides, even with a much shorter chain length, and in their resistance to proteases. To investigate the effect of substitution of b-peptides on their dominant fold, we have carried out a molecular-dynamics
