Molecular solutes are known to have a strong effect on the structural and dynamical properties of the surrounding water. In our recent study (PNAS, 114, 322 (2017)) we have identified the presence of strengthened water hydrogen bonds near hydrophobic

Hydrophobicity plays an important role in numerous physicochemical processes from the process of dissolution in water to protein folding, but its origin at the fundamental level is still unclear. The classical view of hydrophobic hydration is that, i

Recent calorimetric measurements of the solvation enthalpies of some dipeptide analogs confirm our earlier prediction that the principle of group additivity is not valid for the interaction of the peptide group with water. We examine the consequences

The NMR coupling constants ((3)J(H(N), H(alpha))) of dipeptides indicate that the backbone conformational preferences vary strikingly among dipeptides. These preferences are similar to those of residues in small peptides, denatured proteins, and the

Characterizing local structures of denatured proteins is crucial for understanding the protein folding (Baldwin 1986) and misfolding processes. Chemically denatured proteins unfolded in 8 M urea or GdmCl are generally highly opened and solvent-expose

To study the influence of whole secondary structure elements to the process of folding and amyloid-fibril formation, chimeras of stefins have been prepared. GdnHCl denaturation curves and folding rates (chevron plots) have been analyzed based on a tw

The principle of group additivity is a standard feature of analyses of the energetics of protein folding, but it is known that it may not always be valid for the polar peptide group. The neighboring residue effect shows that group additivity is not s

Unfolded peptides in water have some residual structure that may be important in the folding process, and the nature of the residual structure is currently of much interest. There is a neighboring residue effect on backbone conformation, discovered i

The “coil library,” consisting of the φ, ψ values of residues outside secondary structure in high-resolution protein structure s , has chiefly the β, α R , α L , and polyproline II backbone conformations. In denatured proteins, the 20 aa hav
