Abstract
A computer program (called PepCAD™) was developed for performing conformational analysis of peptides on an Apple Macintosh personal computer. The program takes advantage of the mouse-based user interface and graphics of the Macintosh. PepCAD displays peptide molecules, calculates conformational energies, and performs energy minimization on peptides of up to 10 residues. Written in C, PepCAD supports an interactive mode and a batch processing mode, contains about 17,000 lines of code in 11 modules, and utilizes the ECEPP/2 and MINOP equations and parameters for energy calculation and minimization. Conformational energy minimization was done on N-formyl- N′-methylalanineamide. The number of minima and their relative energies were essentially the same as those of N-acetyl- N′-methylalanineamide.
