Binding of solvated peptide (EPLQLKM) with a graphene sheet via simulated coarse-grained approach

Binding of a solvated peptide A1 ((1)E (2)P (3)L (4)Q (5)L (6)K (7)M) with a graphene sheet is studied by a coarse-grained computer simulation involving input from three independent simulated interaction potentials in hierarchy. A number of local and global physical quantities such as energy, mobility, and binding profiles and radius of gyration of peptides are examined as a function of temperature (T). Quantitative differences (e.g., the …
