Conformational Study of a Nine Residue Fragment of the Antigenic Loop of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus

Abstract excerpt

The nine-residue peptide Ac-TASARGDLA-NHMe was selected as model peptide in order to understand the conformational features of the antigenic loop of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). A throughout exploration of the conformational space has been carried out by means of molecular dynamics (MD) and energy minimization. The calculations have been carried out using the AMBER force field. Solvent effects have been...
