Abstract excerpt
Autonomously folding beta-hairpins (two-strand antiparallel beta-sheets) have become increasingly valuable tools for probing the forces that control peptide and protein conformational preferences. We examine the effects of variations in sequence and solvent on the stability of a previously designed 12-residue peptide (1). This peptide adopts a beta-hairpin conformation containing a two-residue loop (D-Pro-Gly)...
