Intramolecular distance, radius of gyration, solvent-accessible surface, and root-mean-square deviations are used to characterize the properties of VEF in aqueous solution. The VEF molecule is highly flexible in water and conformations can shift between the extended and folded states. The VEF molecule exists in extended state mostly in aqueous solution and the conformations bonded with ACE are also the extended ones. The findings indicate that MD simulations have a good agreement with the molecular docking analysis.展开更多

The intervals were defined by a pair of quantum numbers (k(x), k(y)) according to the formula: D = 0.153/root 3 root 8k(x)(2) + 16k(y)(2) (nm) k(x) and k(y) are integers just as the lattice coordinates on the respective b- and a-axes of the crystal lattices for polyethylene. The crystal lattices of polyethylene can be accessible by the re-entry stems, whether it is adjacent fold or not. Conformations, until 14-bond fold, of the fold part were investigated. The sequence TTGTTG'G'TTGGTTG possesses the lowest average conformation energy per bond for (110) fold, and TGTTG'G'TTTG' for (020) fold, TTTGGTGGTTGTG' etc. for (200) fold.展开更多
