Abstract excerpt
While end capping in alpha-helices is well understood, the concept of capping a beta-hairpin is a relatively recent development; to date, favorable Coulombic interactions are the only example of sidechains at the termini influencing the overall stability of a beta-hairpin. While cross-strand hydrophobic residues generally provide hairpin stabilization, particular when flanking the turn region, those remote from...
