Abstract

Accurate reproduction of the mechanism of peptide folding in solution and conformational preferences as a function of amino acid sequence is possible with atomic level dynamics simulations. For example, the simulations correctly predict a left-handed 31-helical fold for the β-heptapeptide 1 (the molecular model is shown in the picture) and a right-handed helical fold for the β-hexapeptide 2, as was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy.
