Özet

The three-dimensional structures of two common repeat motifs Val(1)-Pro(2)-Gly(3)-Val(4)-Gly(5) and Val(1)-Gly(2)-Val(3)-Pro(4)-Gly(5)-Val(6)-Gly(7)-Val(8)-Pro(9) of tropoelastin are investigated by using the multicanonical simulation procedure. By minimizing the energy structures along the trajectory the thermodynamically most stable low-energy microstates of the molecule are determined. The structural predictions are in good agreement with X-ray diffraction experiments.
