The most highly amphiphilic α‐helices include two amino acid segments in human immunodeficiency virus glycoprotein 41
1 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
A search for highly amphiphilic alpha-helices has been made in a data base of protein sequences, using the helical hydrophobic moment as a criterion of amphiphilicity. The protein segments of largest hydrophobic moment have been analyzed. For the segments whose structures are known, they are in fact alpha-helices. Two of the segments having very large hydrophobic moments are from the smaller C-terminal portion of...
