摘要
We demonstrate that modern simulation techniques such as the generalized-ensemble approach allow one to study secondary structure formation and folding in peptides and small proteins, Two systems are investigated. For the simple artificial peptide, Ala(10)-Gly(5)-Ala(10), we research the relation between helix formation and folding. The 36-residue villin headpiece peptide HP-36 is used to study the structure prediction of proteins with our techniques. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
