a Δ(ΔGden) = ΔGden − ΔG*den, changes in the free energy of denaturation on single peptide bond cleavage.

b ΔTden = ΔTden − ΔTden*, changes in denaturation temperature on single peptide bond cleavage.

cKop,N = e ΔGop,N/RT.

d From Krokoszynska and Otlewski (1996).

e The value was calculated directly from the denaturation curve.
