Abstract

The effect of applied electric field on a base class of peptide nanotubes (PNT) is simulated using molecular dynamics (MD). A conformational change in the base ring components is found at critical electric field strength, resulting in macroscopic changes to the nanotube (overall length, torque, pore radius, dipole, etc). The effect of temperature, solvent, and computational method is explored.
