Figure 1.
(A) The native conformation of the β-hairpin for the KT model. For clarity CO and NH groups are not shown. The figure is created with the program rasmol 2.6 (13). (B) Schematic representation of interactions in the native conformation of a β-hairpin. The 14 HBs are given by dashed lines connecting COi (in magenta) and NH17−i (in green) groups; HB numbering starts with Gly-1 (1GLY). HB labels indicate bond number (superscript) and the pair of residues (subscript). Thick dashed lines show interactions between hydrophobic cluster side chains.
