Abstract
- The mechanical unfolding of a beta-hairpin is studied in presence of osmolytes.
- The study is performed via steered molecular dynamics and umbrella sampling.
- Analysing free energy profiles, osmoprotectants and denaturants effects are outlined.
- Structural insight about unfolding mechanism are disclosed.
