33. hairpin = -2.9 kcal/mol). Muñoz et al. have already pointed out that in their model the hairpin transition state contains backbone-backbone hydrogen bonds that place it at a lower energy than the unfolded state, providing a ready explanation of the apparent negative activation energy obtained from the two-state analysis. At least part of the negative activation energy obtained from a two-state analysis of helix formation may have a similar explanation, but this issue requires further exploration.

38. BT). However, as γ → 0, as in a gas at low pressure, collisions are too infrequent to constantly supply the transition state with energized molecules, and eq 9 which assumes Brownian motion is no longer valid. In this low friction (inertial) limit Kramers showed that the rate increases with increasing friction. Approximate expressions connecting the high and low friction regimes have been developed (Skinner, J. L.; Wolynes, P. G. J. Chem. Phys. 1978, 69, 2143-2150).
