Conformational Behaviour of Small Peptide Fragments Studied by the Quantum Chemical Methods
Kalvoda, Tadeáš ; Rulíšek, Lubomír (advisor) ; Vondrášek, Jiří (referee)
To what extent conformational preference of short peptide sequences within proteins determine their three-dimensional structure? Large-scale quantum chemical calculations coupled with modern solvation methods represent unique set of tools to elucidate key determinants of the biomolecular structure ab initio. Full conformational sampling was performed on model systems representing short peptide fragments. The computed data reveal some of the underlying physico-chemical principles determining the spatial structure of proteins, and provide very important data for finding and tuning the optimal algorithm that may provide a full coverage of (ideally all) low-energy conformers. Keywords: Conformational space, peptide fragments, protein structure, solvation methods, Ramachandran plot, DFT-D3 methods
