Elucidating the properties of the denatured state of proteins under conditions relevant for their folding is a key factor in understanding the folding process. We show that a peptide corresponding to residues 111-120 of human ␣-lactalbumin has a pronounced propensity to adopt nonnative structure in
A peptide fragment corresponding to the third helix of Staphylococcus Aureus protein A, domain B, was chosen to study the effect of the main-chain direction upon secondary structure formation and stability, applying the retro-enantio concept. For this purpose, two peptides consisting of the native (
