Hi, this is an explanation of how this recipe was created….
I was trying to investigate in this recipe was true(valid) energy required for folding.
If we could pick arbitrary AA's and have our folding trends known, we would be able to design more stable energy landscape.
It is known that we have tendency to spontaneously fold from single strand(beta) into helix(alpha) where hydrogen bonds exist.
In order fold to helix, we must find another energy landscape that is more stable from helix.
to bend the helix, we have to find another energy landscape that makes helix more stable,
such as AA's sequence that is more stable when attached to each other's side chains by hydrophobic interactions.
How do we do this? using that result table, we can deduce from delta score the energy required to go from helix to strand.
and to bend the helix, we as loop 2-3 segments, some of which are untied from helix, and re fold them as strand.
this means that we need hydrophobic sidechain that gives high score in the regular case, least about 100 points(10 kcal/mol).
and when conformation can be altered by surface hydrogen bonding etc…, it may be re folded for more stable, lower energy.
*however, since that result table does not include hydrogen bonds, there is offset of about 10 points per segment in delta score.
*attached data
the results of helix and strand(sheet) data for each sidechains.
results tabulated using this recipe are as follows.
