Conformational analysis of two elastin-like peptides GVGVPGVG and (GVPGV)7 from atomistic simulations in water at 296 K. (A) Probability distributions of the distance (r) between Cα(i) and Cα(i + 3) of the four-residue fragments from the two peptides. (B) Representative conformations of GVGVPGVG: (a) VPGV turn, (b) GVGV turn, (c) both VPGV and GVGV turns (“s” shape), and (d) neither turn (extended state).
