Conformational Transition in Elastin Polypeptide with Different Residue Length

Residue length dependency of conformational transition of Val1 ‐Pro2 ‐Gly3 ‐Val4‐ Gly5 known as elastin polypeptide is investigated by using multicanonical Monte Carlo (MUCA) method. By extending the residue length, change in the thermodynamical quantites is indicated in an implicit solvation model (SCH2). Strong residue length dependency is observed in thermodynamical quantities.
