Exploration of the conformational energy landscape of small peptides using electronic structure methods

Small peptides work as neurotransmitters or hormones in the body. For example, the pentapeptide enkephalin is involved in a wide variety of physiological processes such as mediation of pain and respiratory depression. In order to understand the biological function of these molecules it is necessary...
