Abstract excerpt
Our previous study showed that for the tested polypeptides which have similar β-hairpin structures but different sequences, their folding free energy pathways are dominantly determined by the turn conformational propensity. In this study, we study how the turn conformational propensity affects the structure of hairpins. The folding of two mutants of GB1p peptide (GB1m2 and GB1m3), which have the optimized turn...
