Elastin-like peptides are hydrophobic biopolymers that exhibit a reversible coacervation transition when the temperature is raised above a critical point. Here, we use a combination of linear infrared spectroscopy, two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations to study the structural dynamics of two elastin-like peptides. Specifically, we investigate the effect of the solvent environment and temperature on the structural dynamics of a short (5-residue) elastin-like pe ...[more]
