ΔG and ΔV values are in kilocalories⋅mole−1 and milliliter−1. m values are in kilocalorie−1⋅mole−1⋅molar−1. CD, circular dichroism. Individual values are the fitted value ± SE of the least-squares fit. Backbone NH are the mean ± SD over all residues. The Trp NH F and U peaks were fit globally assuming equal intensities for the unfolded and folded state peaks. Fluorescence is the average of least-square fits of three experiments ± SEM.
