Abstract
A de novo designed four-helix bundle polypeptide with a modeled three- dimensional structure has been studied by chemical kinetics and Browni an dynamics simulations as an application of the diffusion-collision m odel. The complementary studies give information on kinetic pathways i n the folding of the peptide and on the statistical propensities and t ime histories of the positions and orientations of the four helices.
