Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties of small proteins in the presence of an implicit solvent using the SMMP package. The work primarily focuses on performing parallel tempering simulations for the peptides Met-enkephalin. The thermodynamic parameters, such as specific heat and average energy, structural properties like radius of gyration and end to end distance with respect to temperature were calculated as functions of temperature to analyze the stability and Conformational behavior of the proteins.
