Solution effects and the order of the helix-coil transition in polyalanine
Yong Peng, Ulrich H. E. Hansmann, Nelson A. Alves
We study helix-coil transitions in an all-atom model of polyalanine. Molecules of up to length 30 residues are investigated by multicanonical simulations. Results from two implicit…
