Contributions of individual amino acids to the folding free energy (kcal/mol) of proteinlike decoys, as a function of their solvent accessibility, computed using the generalized Born implementation of Lee et al. (2002). (a) Energy of the Val side chain versus its SA for 4018 random environments. (b) Energy of the Thr side chain versus its SA for 4174 random environments. (c) Energy of the Lys side chain versus its SA for 4176 random environments. The energy values were computed as indicated in Fig. 1 and described in the text. The SA is defined as the ratio of the side-chain ASA in the decoy over its ASA when it is completely solvated.
