Effect of electronic polarization on alanine-based peptides' alpha helices.

It is a general belief that the electrostatic field arising from the electrostatic polarization of an alpha helix is important in protein folding and its stability. In this experiment, polarized protein-specific charges update are employ to introduce this effect into conventional molecular dynamic s...
