Molecular dynamics simulations out to 100 ps have been carried out at 300 K in vacuo on the repeating pentapeptide, (VPGVG), of the elastin fiber. The structure employed in the simulation is a p-spiral (helical structure) with 2.7 pentamers per turn and with a 9.45 A rise per turn and 21.6 A rise pe
