Figure 2

Hydration free energies of the helix and {C0,…,C9} coil states. The horizontal axis has no meaning and is used solely to differentiate multiple coil states with similar μex values. (One could plot the data versus Rg or Rc, but the physical picture that the less compact structure has a more negative free energy is independent of these considerations.) The radius of the symbol is equal to twice the standard error of the mean (2σ). The C0 state is the smallest circle in the collection of unfolded states; the standard error is about half compared to the other estimates because we had 4 times more data for C0 (Sec. S.I).
