The authors use an unnatural loop segment to link pairs of amino acid residues so that they can engage in parallel sheet interactions.

The authors compare β hairpin folding in seven decamers that vary only in the first three residues. The authors conclude that "intrinsic conformational properties of the turn backbone seem to be more important in β hairpin conformation and stability than particular patterns of cross-strand side-chain interactions".
