Abstract
|
In this study, molecular dynamics simulation was
used to explore the structural characteristics and the transport
performance of water molecules of cyclic peptide nanotubes
(CPNTs). MD simulation was used to explain how the
hydrophobic modification of functional group affects the
structure, channel volume, interior affinity, and transportation
behavior of water in CPNTs. Pressure-driven water flow
through CPNTS Different sequences ranging from 10 to 50
nm is simulated. We show CPNTs modified by replacing LGlycine or D- Glycine groups with an L- Alanine or DAlanine has a negligible effect on the resulting mass flow rate.
