Abstract

Carefullychosen peptide systems can provide valuable insights into the details of protein folding. Construction of the secondarystructures most commonlyobserved in proteins, namely a-helices and b-sheets, from constrained amino acid residues allows detailed investigation of the factors driving the folding and stabilityof these structural scaffolds.
