Finite-size scaling of helix-coil transitions in poly-alanine studied by multicanonical simulations
arXiv:cond-mat/9810358 · doi:10.1063/1.478169
Abstract
We report results from multicanonical simulations of poly-alanine. Homopolymers of up to 30 amino acids were considered and various thermodynamic quantities as a function of temperature calculated. We study the nature of the observed helix-coil transition and present estimates for critical exponents.
