Replica exchange molecular dynamics simulation study on the mechanism of desiccation-induced structuralization of an intrinsically disordered peptide as a model of LEA proteins
Group 3 late embryogenesis abundant (G3LEA) proteins, which act as a well-characterized desiccation protectant in anhydrobiotic organisms, are structurally disordered in solution, but they acquire a predominantly α-helical structure during drying. Thus, G3LEA proteins are now accepted as intrinsical...
