Structural and ultrametric properties of (L-alanine)20
We study local energy minima of twenty(L-alanine). The minima are generated using high-temperature Molecular Dynamics and Chain-Growth Monte Carlo simulations, with subsequent minimization. We find that the lower-energy configurations are $ \alpha $-helices for a wide range of dielectric constant values $ (\epsilon = 1,10,80), $ and that there is …
