Pentapeptide repeats were initially predicted from sequence to possess a right handed beta helix with three sides. [3] The first crystal structure of a pentapeptide repeat protein was the MfpA protein solved by Hegde and colleagues.
Lin and her lab use computational chemistry to provide information on the solution structures of cyclic peptides. [2] They recently successfully used molecular dynamics simulation with enhanced sampling methods to design well-structured cyclic peptides. [12] [13]

Cyclic peptides in plants are synthesized via a two-step process; the translation of a linear peptide chain, and its subsequent formation into a cyclic structure through activities of a protease-like enzyme or other ways. [6] [7] [8] Some peptides, such as cyclotides, are gene-coded products obtained by the processing of larger precursor proteins.
Present in nature are both linear and cyclic tetrapeptides (CTPs), the latter of which mimics protein reverse turns which are often present on the surface of proteins and druggable targets. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Tetrapeptides may be cyclized by a fourth peptide bond or other covalent bonds .
The finite group notation used is: Z n: cyclic group of order n, D n: dihedral group isomorphic to the symmetry group of an n–sided regular polygon, S n: symmetric group on n letters, and A n: alternating group on n letters. The character tables then follow for all groups.
Using molecular dynamics simulation, the team is able to measure the contact angle of water nanodroplet on the planar networks (caHydrophobicity). On the other hand, previous studies show that the minimum of excess chemical potential of a hard-sphere solute with respect to that in the bulk exhibits a linear dependence on cosine value of contact ...
The longest published result of a simulation performed using Anton as of 2011 was a 2.936 millisecond simulation of NTL9 at 355 K. [89] Such simulations are currently able to unfold and refold small proteins (<150 amino acids residues) in equilibrium and predict how mutations affect folding kinetics and stability.
