Unfolding of α-helical 20-residue poly-glutamic acid analyzed by multiple runs of canonical molecular dynamics simulations

Elucidating the molecular mechanism of helix–coil transitions of short peptides is a long-standing conundrum in physical chemistry. Although the helix–coil transitions of poly-glutamic acid (PGA) have been extensively studied, the molecular details of its unfolding process still remain unclear. We p...
