Effect of side chains on the conformational energy and rotational strength of the n-pi transition for some alpha-helical poly-alpha-amino acids.
TL;DR: In this article, the rotational strength of polyamino acids with both nonpolar and polar side chains was investigated, and it was assumed that the only influence of the polar side chain was on the backbone conformation and on the electrostatic field which perturbs the amide chromophore of the backbone.

Minimization of polypeptide energy. X. A global search algorithm.
G.M. Crippen,Harold A. Scheraga +1 more
TL;DR: A technique is described for locating the global minimum by means of a relatively efficient search over all possible conformations; after investigation, it eliminates whole regions of conformation space not likely to contain the lowestative minimum.

Hydrophobic bonding and micelle stability; the influence of ionic head groups
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how the addition of a term, representing the repulsion of charged heads, alters our previous treatment of nonionic micelles and, by means of the graphical procedure of that paper, how charged heads shift the most probable micelle size to smaller values.
