摘要

The free-energy surface (FES) of glycyl-phenylalanyl-alanine (GFA) tripeptide was explored by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in combination with high-level correlated ab initio quantum chemical calculations and metadynamics. Both the MD and metadynamics employed the tightbinding DFT-D method instead of the AMBER force field,which yielded inaccurate results. We classified the minima localised in the FESs as follows:a) the backbone-conformational arrangement; and b) the existence of a COOHOC intramolecular H-bond (families CO2Hfree and CO2Hbonded). Comparison with experimental results showed that the most stable minima in the FES correspond to the experimentally observed structures. Remarkably, however,we did not observe experimentally the CO2Hbonded family (also predicted by metadynamics),altho ugh its stability is comparable to that of the CO2Hfree structures. This fact was explained by the formerBs short excitedstate lifetime. We also carried out ab initio calculations using DFT-D and the M06-2X functional. The importance of the dispersion energy in stabilising peptide conformers is well reflected by our pioneer analysis using the DFT-SAPT method to explore the nature of the backbone/side-chain interactions.
