Protein Conformations and Energy Calculations

This lecture covers the calculation of protein energy states based on temperature, energy differences, and molecular distances. It also discusses the relationship between covalent bond energy, force, and interatomic distance, as well as the impact of charges on salt bridge energy. Additionally, it explores the influence of dihedral angles on sidechain energy and the use of formulas to approximate van der Waals interactions. The stability of protein conformations in different environments and the factors driving protein folding reactions are also addressed.
