Abstract:
To investigate the performance of the energy landscape paving (ELP) procedure for peptides, we apply it here to deltorphin, a linear heptapeptide with bulky side chains (H-Tyr1-D-Met2-Phe3-His4-Leu5-Met6-Asp7-NH2) and compare the results with the Multicanonical method (MUCA) in regard of finding the low-energy structures. Deltorphin is modeled in vacuum by the potential energy function ECEPP.
