TABLE 1.

Hydrophobic moment 〈μ〉 and polar angle Φ of KLAL, l11k12-KLAL and k9a10-KLAL calculated for an α-helical and a β-sheet secondary structure with different hydrophobicity scales

Peptide μ〉 (consensus) μ〉 (OMH) μ〉 (WRH) Φ
KLAL α-helix 0.334 0.120 0.377 80
β-sheet 0.328 0.543 0.600
l11k12-KLAL α-helix 0.267 0.060 0.254 160
β-sheet 0.214 0.419 0.422
k9a10-KLAL α-helix 0.296 0.105 0.375 75
β-sheet 0.381 0.545 0.645

The angle ω between the amino acid side chains for the α-helix and the β-sheet structure was fixed at 100° and 167°, respectively. The mean hydrophobicity per residue, H, according to the different hydrophobicity scales of the peptides is −0.016 (consensus), 0.147 (OMH), and −0.344 (WRH).
