摘要: Abstract In this work, we report the heat rectifying capability of α-helices. Using molecular dynamics simulations show an increased thermal diffusivity in C-Terminal to N-Terminal direction propagation. The origin effect seems be a function particular orientation hydrogen bonds stabilizing these Our results may relevant for design rectification devices materials science and lend support role normal length asymmetrical energy flow proteins.
