We have performed the canonical molecular dynamics simulations to the di-block polyampholyte in which the Coulomb and the soft core interactions are considered. The di-block polyampholyte has two helical structures which have almost equal potential energy in low temperature region. Controlling the relative strength of two interactions by changing bond length, the stability of these two helical structures is affected from the view point of free energy without any influence on the equality of potential energy.
