Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of interfacial folding and membrane insertion of designed peptides is explored by using an implicit membrane generalized Born model and replica-exchange molecular dynamics. Folding/insertion simulations initiated from fully extended peptide conformations in the aqueous phase, at least 28 A away from the membrane interface, demonstrate a general mechanism for structure formation and insertion (when...
