A thermodynamic model describing formation of alpha-helices by peptides and proteins in the absence of specific tertiary interactions has been developed. The model combines free energy terms defining alpha-helix stability in aqueous solution and terms describing immersion of every helix or fragment

PDZ domains are members of the protein interaction domain family, [1] semi-autonomous modules embedded within larger signaling proteins that impart a degree of exclusivity to the binding properties of their hosts. As mediators of mammalian protein-protein interactions that number in the hundreds, PD
## Abstract Membranes are structures whose lipid and protein components are at, or close to, equilibrium in the plane of the membrane, but are not at equilibrium across the membrane. The thermodynamic tendency of ionic and highly polar molecules to be in contact with water rather than with nonpolar
