Gold nanoparticles (NPs) were surface functionalized with hexanethiol groups and chiral nematic discogen ligands. A superlattice, liquid crystal behaviour and helix formation of the discs and a second helical organisation of the NPs were detected.

We have performed parallel tempering simulations of a 13-residue peptide fragment of ribonuclease-A, c-peptide, in implicit solvent with constant dielectric permittivity. This peptide has a strong tendency to form α-helical conformations in solvent as suggested by circular dichroism (CD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. Our results demonstrate that 5th and 8–12 residues are in the α-helical region of the Ramachandran map for global minimum energy state in solvent environment. Effects of salt bridge formation on stability of α-helix structure are discussed.
