## Abstract Hydrogen bonding in the α‐helix and β‐sheet has been studied by __ab initio__ molecular orbital calculations carried out on complexes of formamide. Hydrogen‐bond geometries were taken from x‐ray crystallography of polypeptides. Positive cooperativity is found in all cases. The limiting

The rates at which hydrogens located at peptide amide linkages in proteins undergo isotopic exchange when a protein is exposed to depend on whether these amide hydrogens are hydrogen bonded and whether they are D 2 O accessible to the aqueous solvent. Hence, amide hydrogen exchange rates are a sensi
Recently,l we investigated the possibility that NH.. .Sr(Cys) and NH.. .S\* hydrogen bonds (backbone amide NH, ligand sulfur) may help raise the redox potential of iron-sulfur proteins by differentially stabilizing the reduced (Cys-S)4Fe4S; cluster. By using molecular-orbital calculations on hydroge
The effects of urea on protein stability have been studied using a model system in which we have determined the energetics of dissolution of a homologous series of cyclic dipeptides into aqueous urea solutions of varying concentration at 25°C using calorimetry. The data support a model in which urea
## Abstract Aromatic stacking and hydrogen bonding between nucleobases are two of the key interactions responsible for stabilization of DNA double‐helical structures. The present work aims at defining the specific contributions of these interactions to the stability of individual base pairs in DNA.
