TABLE 1.

The temperature and orientationally dependent attractive strengths relative to kBT for the nondirectional, weakly-directional, and strongly-directional proteins at T = 300 K

Protein interaction εpp/kBTp) εbb/kBTb) εpb/kBT
Nondirectional 0.358 (0.153) 0.358 (0.153) 0.358
Weakly directional 1.25 (0.285) 0.268 (0.132) 0.578
Strongly directional 11.3 (0.859) 0.003 (0.044) 0.583
Denatured 1.74 (0.400) 1.74 (0.400) 1.74

Values inside the parentheses represent the surface hydrophobicity. The magnitude of the denatured-denatured protein attractions are given as reference with Φ shown in parentheses.
