The energy change between the initial and final conformations for the loop between Glu16 and Gln27 (the region of the first and the second kink). The initial conformation (right-handed α-helix) is like minimum a or b in Figure 6, and the final conformation is like a pair of kinks that each interpolate between a and b, as in Figure 6. See the profile of the virtual-bond angles θi in Figure 9b.
