22. It is very possible that, in the unfolded state, the residue to be mutated may not be as exposed as is modeled and that there may be residual interactions between the residue and the rest of the protein. In the absence of additional information, we assume that the opposing effects cancel. However, note the example in the next paragraph in which a specific interaction is included in the unfolded state.
