Molecular dynamics simulations of the ionic complementary peptide EAK16-II on the hydrophobic HOPG surface (Sheng et al 2010a; 2010b). The adsorption and initial assembly process of EAK16-II on the surface were revealed. Hydrophobic alanine residues are found to be energetically favorable when in contact with the HOPG surface. It is the hydrophobic interaction that drives the adsorption of the first peptide molecule.
