Outside Front Cover: Peptides undergo chemical modifications similar to post‐translational modifications in living organisms under plasma treatment, which play a key role in protein function. We present a modeling study on the interactions of plasma and peptides by a Reactive Molecular Dynamic (RMD) simulation. The formation and breaking of chemical bonds and the generation of new reactive groups...
Experimental observations have shown that peptides are chemically modified under plasma treatment, which impacts the function and lifetime of a protein. This paper investigates the interactions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in atmospheric plasmas and peptides. Results show that the reactions typically start with the H abstraction from the side chain of amino acids. As the reactions continue,...
