Theoretical Study of a Nonpeptidic Polydisulfide α-Helix
{{output}}
A carbon-sulfur molecule has been designed as a mimic of peptides. Density functional theory calculations showed that the oxidation of 10 moles of methanedithiol led to a polydisulfide oligomer, HS(CH2SS)9CH2SH. The polydisulfide can adopt an α-helix type of ... ...
