Abstract

The regular recurrence of hydrophobic amino acid residues along a peptide sequence determines the formation of a longitudinal hydrophobic strip when the peptide forms an α-helix. An understanding of the ways this may effect both folding of nascent proteins and antigen presentation should facilitate vaccine and therapeutics design.
