FIGURE 3. A, stereo view of the backbone superposition of the 100 Leu^23,Ala^24-sCT periodically sampled structures along the 1000-ps unrestrained MD. Structures were superimposed for pairwise minimum r.m.s. deviation of the N, C , and C atoms of residues 4–28. B, stereo view of Leu^23,Ala^24-sCT structure showing the amphipathic property of the -helix; hydrophobic residues, mainly leucine, are on the left side, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are on the right side. Hydrogen bonds along the backbone and in the N and C terminus helix cap motifs are represented as discontinuous lines.
