A thorough knowledge of noncovalent interactions is crucial to the understanding of biological complexity. One of the less well understood but significant weak interactions in nature is the aromatic interaction. Recent studies have provided new insight into the driving force, stability and selectivity of these interactions. The contribution of solvophobic and electrostatic interactions have been shown to be inextricably linked. Moreover, the influence of electrostatic and solvophobic components on the selectivity of aromatic interactions has been demonstrated.

## Abstract The effects on helical stability of weak polar interactions between aromatic side‐chains and the peptide backbone were examined. α‐Helical model peptides, hexa‐Ala, with sequential Tyr replacement, were investigated computationally to obtain the geometries and energetics of the interact
It has come to our attention that both in the online and published version of the above article an error occurred. On page 1210, the last equation, which expresses the CP-corrected interaction energy in solution, was displayed incorrectly. The corrected version of the equation follows. where E(solu
