title: The effects of individual amino acids on the fast folding dynamics of alpha-helical peptides.
abstract: Nanosecond temperature jump experiments coupled to time-resolved infrared spectroscopy were carried out on a series of alanine-based peptides containing different guest amino acids to study the effects of residues with different helix propensities on the helix-coil dynamics.
