中文摘要 | In this paper, we propose a simple statistical mechanical model to study the conformation transition between the alpha helix, beta sheet, and random coil in homopolypeptides. In our model, five parameters are introduced to obtain the partition function. There are two factors for helical propagation and initiation, which are the same as those used in the Zimm-Bragg model, and three newly introduced parameters for beta structures: the strand propagation factor for residues in beta strands and two correction factors for the initiation effect of the beta strand and beta sheet. Our model shows that the variation of these parameters may induce conformation transition from alpha helix or random coil to beta sheet. The sharpness of the transition depends on the initiation factors. |
