Właściwości otoczki hydratacyjnej wokół różnych konformacji poliseryny - analiza wyników dynamiki molekularnej
PublikacjaRozpuszczalnik w istotny sposób wpływa na preferencje peptydu do przyjmowania określonej struktury drugorzędowej. Przykładem tego może być fakt, iż w przypadku polialaniny stabilność konformacji helikalnej w wodzie jest niższa aniżeli w próżni, podczas gdy w przypadku poliseryny mamy do czynienia ze zjawiskiem odwrotnym. W celu lepszego zrozumienia tego zjawiska badano właściwości otoczek hydratacyjnych dookoła czterech konformacji...
