摘要

There is a paradox concerning the beta propensities of the amino acids: the amino acids with the highest beta propensities such as valine and isoleucine have the highest tendency to desolvate the peptide backbone, which should result in a loss of stability. Nevertheless, backbone solvation, calculated as electrostatic solvation free energy (ESF), is highly correlated with mutant stability in the zinc-finger system studied by Kim and Berg Kim, C. A. Berg, J. M. (1993) Nature (London) 362, 267-270, and valine and isoleucine are among the most stabilizing amino acids. This inverse correlation between stability and ESF can be explained, because the mutant ESF differences in the unfolded protein are larger than in the native protein. Consequently, mutations such as Ala to Val destabilize the unfolded form more than the native protein. By comparing mutant Delta ESF values in isolated beta-strands versus beta-sheets, we conclude that amino acids with high beta propensities should exert their stabilizing effects at early stages in folding. This deduction agrees with the studies by Clarke and coworkers Lorch, M., Mason, J. M., Clarke, A. R. Parker, M. J. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 1377-1385, and Lorch, M., Mason, J. M., Sessions, R. B. Clarke, A. R. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 3480-3485 of the thermodynamics of folding of the beta-sheet protein CD2.d1.
