An alanine-valine dipeptide system was created using tleap from AmberTools 16 . The am-ber99SBILDN forcefield was used for the protein parameters. Simulations were carried out at 300K with a Langevin integrator using a 0.002ps step size in implicit OBC2 solvent using OpenMM version 7.3. Nonperiodic cutoffs were used, with the hydrogen bonds constrained and a 1/ps friction applied. The peptide's CA, N, and O backbone atoms were restrained using a restraint of 25 kcal/(mol•angstrom 2 ) based on their starting conformation.
