Abstract
A simulation study of DPDPE in sodium chloride solution has been performed and compared with previous simulations using a different interaction potential for the ions. Both global thermodynamics as well as a characterization of association to DPDPE have been calculated. We show that the parameters used for the ions have a profound effect on the association to the peptide in 1M NaCl. The observed differences suggest that individual associations in these and previous simulations are sensitive to parameters.
