摘要: Earlier studies have shown that the helical content of α-helical peptide decreases upon its interaction with carbon nanotube (CNT). Further, length α-helix varies from few residues in small globular protein to several number structural and membrane proteins. In proteins, helices are widely present as supercoil i.e., bundles. Thus, this study, length-dependent pattern peptides CNT stability isolated fragment versus supercoiled bundle been investigated using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Results reveal disruption motif on is directly proportional helix. Also it found shorter helix does not undergo noticeable changes helicity adsorption CNT. On other hand, longer considerably affected by contrast known fact increases length, Comparison results shows higher than fact, chain significant Both inherent unit influence © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
