Abstract excerpt
Study of model beta-hairpin peptides allows for better understanding of the factors involved in the formation of beta-sheet secondary structure in proteins. It is known that turn sequence, sidechain-sidechain interactions, interstrand hydrogen bonding, and beta-sheet propensity of residues are all important for beta-hairpin stability in aqueous solution. However, interactions of the sidechains of the terminal...
