Energy Difference of HbS Polymer Fiber with Different Helical Pitch Length

Simulation Case Pitch Length (nm) Energy Difference (kBT)
I 265.0 −0.28
II 265.2 0.00
III 286.8 0.44
IV 288.2 −0.31
V 292.2 −0.36

Here we choose the data from simulation case II as a reference point. For comparison, the average total energy of one layer in a sickle hemoglobin polymer fiber is ∼−40.0 kBT.
