Standard binding free energy gain to construct a buried interface in the direction of the β-sheet hydrogen-bonding axis (ΔGco) and the side-chain steric zipper interface (ΔGzipo). Units are kcal mol−1 per peptide buried by the interface. AP is stronger (ΔΔG > 0) in terms of sheet elongation but is weaker (ΔΔG < 0) in zipper stability. Increasing in vitro amyloidogenicity for the sequence IL < IF < TF is matched by the strengthening of this trend in the ΔΔG-values.
