Abstract
⺠Partitioning of unfolded peptides to the membrane interface is generally unfavorable ⺠Helix formation reduces the partitioning free energy by ÎGres per residue ⺠ÎGres is independent of the hydrophobic moment of amphipathic α-helical peptides ⺠ÎGres is ascribed to formation of backbone hydrogen bonds ⺠The best estimate ÎGres is â 0.37 ± 0.02 (SEM) kcal molâ 1
