§

Percentage of native and total extent of native heavy atom contacts (distances less than 5.4 Å for aliphatic carbons and 4.6 Å for all others) with respect to NMR structure.

Helix properties for H1, H2, and H3 relative to the secondary structure in the starting structures (see Fig. 1). %a(f, y) is the percentage of helix based on repeating (f, y) angles [Daggett, V., Kuntz, I. D. & Kollman, P. A. (1991) Biopolymers 31, 1115-1134]. HB is the number of intact helical hydrogen bonds (rdonor-acceptor £ 2.6 Å more than 25% of the time). The number of native hydrogen bonds is given after the slash.
