Hydrogen bonding stabilizes globular proteins
Open accessAbstract
It is clear that intramolecular hydrogen bonds are essential to the structure and stability of globular proteins. It is not clear, however, whether they make a net favorable contribution to this stability. Experimental and theoretical studies are at odds over this important question. Measurements of the change in conformational stability, delta (delta G), for the mutation of a hydrogen bonded residue to one incapable of hydrogen bonding suggest a stabilization of 1.0 kcal/mol per hydrogen bond. If the delta (delta G) values are corrected for differences in side-chain hydrophobicity and conformational entropy, then the estimated stabilization becomes 2.2 kcal/mol per hydrogen bond. These and other experimental studies discussed here are consistent and compelling: hydrogen bonding stabilizes globular proteins.

Polyester systems can interact due to hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions such as dipole-dipole interactions, but they lack the ability to form regular repeating intramolecular hydrogen bonding motifs that facilitate protein folding.
“Polyester systems can interact due to hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions such as dipole-dipole interactions [41], but they lack the ability to form regular repeating intramolecular hydrogen bonding motifs of the sort that facilitate protein folding [42,43].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
