Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glycine is an intrinsically destabilizing residue in beta sheets. In natural proteins, however, this destabilization can be 'rescued' by specific cross-strand pairing with aromatic residues. Here, we present an experimental study of this effect. RESULTS: Protein variants containing glycine and aromatic residues positioned across beta strands in both antiparallel and parallel orientations were studied....
