摘要

Interactions between aromatic sidechains affect the stability of protein structures. In the present work we calculate the free-energy profile for a pair of aromatic Phenylalanine (Phe) aminoacids in aqueous solution, as a function of the distance between the C_α atoms of the peptide main chains. As a comparison system, we also study the Alanine (Ala) pair, in which the side chains (methyl groups) have hydrophobic but not aromatic character. In contrast to other studies of aromatic association, we include the peptide main chains in the simulation system. The free-energy profiles show that the Phe association is weakly favored in water, whereas in the Ala pair the separated conformation is the most stable. An energetic interaction analysis is employed to mterpret these differences.
