Abstract excerpt
We investigated the possible role of residues at the Ccap position in an alpha-helix on protein stability. A set of 431 protein alpha-helices containing a C'-Gly from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) was analyzed, and the normalized frequencies for finding particular residues at the Ccap position, the average fraction of buried surface area, and the hydrogen bonding patterns of the Ccap residue side-chain were...
