Molecular interactions in protein secondary structures, α-helices and β-sheets

We have investigated the molecular interactions in α-helices and β-sheets, using density functional theory, and elucidated the characteristics of the stability of antiparallel and parallel β-sheets and α-helices. Two types of stabilization were found in the formation of the antiparallel β-sheet. Hydrogen bonds in the antiparallel β-sheet were more stable than those in the parallel β-sheet, because the hydrogen bond structures of the antiparallel β-sheet were closer to those of the optimized hydrogen bonded formamide dimer. In addition, our computational results also lead to the improvement of the force field.
