A theoretical study on the stability of the salt bridges in the gas phase, in solution, and in the interior of proteins is presented. The study is mainly focused on the interaction between acetate and methylguanidinium ions, which were used as model compounds for the salt bridge between Asp (Glu) an
To determine when secondary structure forms as two chains coalesce to form an alpha-helical dimer, the folding rates of variants of the coiled coil region of GCN4 were compared. Residues at non-perturbing positions along the exterior length of the helices were substituted one at a time with alanine
