RMSD, Dis, Rg and SASA were adopted to characterize the properties of tripeptide Ile-Ile-Pro in the MD simulations. Interestingly, the tripeptide molecule IIP exhibited different behaviors in aqueous and DMSO solutions. In aqueous solution, IIP was very flexible. The conformation could shift between extended and folded states very quickly. However,in DMSO solution, more folded conformations were observed.
