The three-helix bundle is a common structural motif among natural proteins. It has been observed in numerous important proteins, such as fibrinogen, laminin, spectrin, dystrofin, hemagglutinin, and mannose binding proteins. The three-helix bundle is a simple structure in which three a-helices pack a
As a model for analyzing the role of charge repulsion in proteins and its shielding by the solvent, we designed a peptide of 27 amino acid residues that formed a homodimeric coiled-coil. The interface between the coils consisted of hydrophobic Leu and Val residues, and 10 Lys residues per monomer we
