From helix-coil transitions to protein folding.
TL;DR: With increasing refinement of the computational procedures, the computed results are coming closer to experimental observations, providing an understanding as to how physics directs the folding process.

Use of electric dichroism to study polymer conformation.
T.C. Troxell,Harold A. Scheraga +1 more
TL;DR: A new, highly sensitive method to measure the linear dichroism of polymer solutions is described, which can provide information about the permanent dipole moment and about the orientation, mobility and electronic properties of side chains of helical polymers.

Statistical mechanics of noncovalent bonds in polyamino acids. V. Treatment of long chains by the method of sequence‐generating functions: Hydrophobic bonding in random coil, and interactions between helical segments
TL;DR: In this article, the method of sequence-generating functions is applied to long polypeptide chains to describe various types of hydrophobic bonding in the random coil, and the relative probabilities of occurrence of the various states in a system of interacting helices.

Conformational Studies of the C-Terminal 16-Amino-Acid-Residue Fragment of the B3 Domain of the Immunoglobulin Binding Protein G from Streptococcus
Agnieszka Skwierawska,Agnieszka Skwierawska,Stanisław Ołdziej,Stanisław Ołdziej,Adam Liwo,Adam Liwo,Harold A. Scheraga +6 more
TL;DR: The melting temperature of the IG(46-61) peptide is about 320 K which supports the hypothesis that the investigated peptide can serve as a folding initiation site of the B3 domain of the immunoglobulin binding protein G.
