Thermal unfolding curves have been measured for a series of short alanine-based peptides that contain repeating sequences and varying chain lengths. Standard helix-coil theory successfully fits the observed transition curves, even for these short peptides. The results provide values for u, the helix
## Abstract This article measures the rates of folding and unfolding of the collagen‐like peptide (Pro‐Hyp‐Gly)~10~ over overlapping concentration and temperature ranges. The data allow calculation of the orders of the folding and the unfolding reactions, the effective Arrhenius activation energies
## Abstract The changes in the partial molar volume (PMV) associated with the conformational transition of an alanine‐rich peptide AK16 from the α‐helix structure to various random coil structures are calculated by the three‐dimensional interaction site model (3D‐RISM) theory coupled with the Kirkw
