We studied the stability of a small β-hairpin peptide under the influence of an aqueous 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate solution via all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. A significant structure dependent binding of ACE to the peptide was identified as the main reason for the denaturation of the native conformation.

Herein we report the dissolution mechanism of lignin in cholinium-based ionic liquids by molecular dynamics simulations. Multiple hydrogen bonds, longer HB lifetimes, and higher pKa of [Ch][Lys] makes it a better solvent for lignin than acidic ILs.
