The effects of individual amino acids on the fast folding dynamics of alpha-helical peptides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Dec 28:(48):5985-7. doi: 10.1039/b511072f. Epub 2005 Nov 3.

Abstract

Nanosecond temperature jump experiments coupled to time-resolved infrared spectroscopy were carried out on a series of alanine-based peptides containing different guest amino acids to study the effects of residues with different helix propensities on the helix-coil dynamics.
