The mean residue molar ellipticity [θ] was determined by following literature-reported formulas: Ellipticity ([θ]222 nm in cm2 deg dmol-1) = (millidegrees × mean residue weight)/(path length in millimetres × concentration of polypeptide in mg·ml-1)
The helical contents of the polypeptides were calculated using the following equation: percentage of α-helix = (-[θ]222 + 3000)/39,000.47
