Role of tryptophan side chain dynamics on the Trp-cage mini-protein folding studied by molecular dynamics simulations.

The 20 residue Trp-cage mini-protein is one of smallest proteins that adopt a stable folded structure containing also well-defined secondary structure elements. The hydrophobic core is arranged around a single central Trp residue. Despite several experimental and simulation studies the detailed fold...
