Parameters of helix-coil transition theory for alanine-based peptides of varying chain lengths in water

Thermal unfolding curves have been measured for a series of short alanine-based peptides that contain repeating sequences and varying chain lengths. Standard helix-coil theory successfully fits the observed transition curves, even for these short peptides. The results provide values for sigma, the h...
