Abstract excerpt
The hydrophobicity scales for amino acid side chains based on the transfer Gibbs energy (DeltaG(trans)) of amino acids from non-aqueous phases to water have been widely used to estimate the contribution of buried side chains to the conformational stability of proteins. In this paper, we propose a new scale for the side-chain contribution to protein stability, which is derived from data on protein denaturation...
