Elucidating the folding problem of helical peptides using empirical parameters
Abstract
Using an empirical analysis of experimental data we have estimated a set of energy contributions which accounts for the stability of isolated alpha-helices. With this database and an algorithm based on statistical mechanics, we describe the average helical behaviour in solution of 323 peptides and the helicity per residue of those peptides analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance. Moreover the algorithm successfully detects the alpha-helical tendency, in solution, of a peptide corresponding to a beta-strand of ubiquitin.

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.
