Streszczenie

We compare the structures and energies of β-strands, α-helices, and 310-helices for capped polyalanines, acetyl(ala)NNH2, for values of N from 2 to 18, using completely optimized mixed DFT/AM1 calculations. Non-pairwise additive cooperativity is manifest from the variation of the relative energies, helical strain, dipole moments, and H-bond lengths of both types of helices, but especially for the α-helices. While the gas-phase 310-helices are more stable for small polyalanines, largely due to the additional H-bond, the α-helices become relatively more stable as the polyalanines increase in size.
