Schematic showing that β-hairpin formation can be initiated at the turn corner residues (red box). Turn formation can promote cooperative favorable interactions in the flanking regions of sequence (green circles). Alternatively, the presence of the favorable interactions on the flanking strands can drive turn formation provided the sequence in the turn allows the chain to adopt the required φ, ψ angles.
