Unbiased in silico design of pH-sensitive tetrapeptides

Abstract

We used coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations to screen all possible histidine-bearing tetrapeptide sequences, finding novel peptide sequences with pH-tunable assembly properties. These tetrapeptides could be used for various biological applications, such as triggered delivery of bioactive molecules.
