Abstract
The carbon-nitrogen J-couplings in the hydrogen bonding chains of proteins show that H-bonding mediates peptide-group polarization, which results in the general reduction of peptide-group polarity of folded proteins in solution. The net effect is to make large regions of protein secondary structure, especially beta-sheets, intrinsically more hydrophobic, contributing thereby to overall stability of the tertiary structure.Entities:
