Calculation of the band structure of polyglycine as a two-dimensional periodic system
Abstract
The band-structure of valence- and conduction bands for polyglycine in the parallel β-pleated sheet conformation is given. The effect of two-dimensionality on the electronic conductivity in two perpendicular directions is discussed. We compared our results with earlier one-dimensional calculations along the main chain of the polypeptide.
