EFFECTS OF FRUSTRATION ON THE KINETICS OF HELIX FORMATION IN ALANINE POLYPEPTIDES
The folding kinetics of a seven-residue long alanine polypeptide are investigated using a fully atomic protein model and molecular dynamics simulations. The peptide adopts helical conformations in the native state when simulated in two different implicit solvents: a model with a distance dependent d...
