dc.description.abstract | A thermodynamic model describing formation of α-helices by peptides and proteins in the absence of specific tertiary interactions has been developed. The model combines free energy terms defining α-helix stability in aqueous solution and terms describing immersion of every helix or fragment of coil into a micelle or a nonpolar droplet created by the rest of protein to calculate averaged or lowest energy partitioning of the peptide chain into helical and coil fragments. The α-helix energy in water was calculated with parameters derived from peptide substitution and protein engineering data and using estimates of nonpolar contact areas between side chains. The energy of nonspecific hydrophobic interactions was estimated considering each α-helix or fragment of coil as freely floating in the spherical micelle or droplet, and using water/cyclohexane (for micelles) or adjustable (for proteins) side-chain transfer energies. The model was verified for 96 and 36 peptides studied by 1 H-nmr spectroscopy in aqueous solution and in the presence of micelles, respectively ([set I] and [set 2]) and for 30 mostly α-helical globular proteins ([set 3]). For peptides, the experimental helix locations were identified from the published medium-range nuclear Overhauser effects detected by 1 H-nmr spectroscopy. For sets 1, 2, and 3, respectively, 93, 100, and 97% of helices were identified with average errors in calculation of helix boundaries of 1.3, 2.0, and 4.1 residues per helix and an average percentage of correctly calculated helix—coil states of 93, 89, and 81%, respectively. Analysis of adjustable parameters of the model (the entropy and enthalpy of the helix—coil transition, the transfer energy of the helix backbone, and parameters of the bound coil), determined by minimization of the average helix boundary deviation for each set of peptides or proteins, demonstrates that, unlike micelles, the interior of the effective protein droplet has solubility characteristics different from that for cyclohexane, does not bind fragments of coil, and lacks interfacial area. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
