Abstract excerpt
The contribution of the hydrophobic contact in the C-capping motif of the alpha-helix to the thermodynamic stability of the ubiquitin molecule has been analyzed. For this, 16 variants of ubiquitin containing the full combinatorial set of four nonpolar residues Val, Ile, Leu, and Phe at C4 (Ile30) and C' ' (Ile36) positions were generated. The secondary structure content as estimated using far-UV circular...
