Anchoring of a hydrophobic heptapeptide (AFILPTG) on silica facilitates peptide unfolding at the abiotic–biotic interface
Abstract
We describe the interaction of a hydrophobic peptide with silica. Fitting of structures identified by simulation and use of natural transition orbitals to interpret CD data show that anchoring involves functional side groups, water and metal ions.
