Figure 1.
Encapsulation of 16-mer C-terminal β-hairpin from the protein G in a spherical pore of the radius Rs is sketched. The surprising outcome of this work is that even confinement to relatively large pores (Rs/R ≳ 2.0) has a profound effect on the hairpin stability and folding rates. The amino acids in the β-hairpin are color-coded and annotated with a one-letter code.
