26. All sequence selection steps for β-sheet design were based on the use of two peptide backbone templates corresponding to antiparallel β sheets: fragment 57-72 of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from Bacillus stearothermophilus {Protein Data Bank accession code 1gd1 [T. Skarzynoski, P. C. E. Moody, A. J. Wonacott, J. Mol. Biol. 193, 171 (1987)]} and the WW domain of the mouse formin-binding protein, fragment 8-30 (20). The WW domain fragment contained loops between the β strands, which were changed to ideal, two-residue, type I′ β turns to yield a three-stranded antiparallel β sheet with four residues per strand, connected by two-residue β turns for both backbone templates. The different sequences were evaluated by the lowest van der Waals energies calculated by the ICM package (20). The template structures were prepared for sequence evaluation by a regularization procedure included in the ICM package that undergoes a rotational positioning of methyl groups, an iterative optimization of geometry and energy of the whole structure, and an adjustment of polar hydrogen positions.

32. The Betanova polypeptide was synthesized by the laboratory of R. Frank at the Center for Molecular Biology, Heidelberg University (ZmBH), using standard 9-fluorenyl-methoxycarbonyl chemistry. Purification to >95% was achieved by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The molecular mass of the peptide was confirmed by mass spectroscopy.

45. H2O have to be taken with caution because of the small change in fluorescence between folded and unfolded states and the large error in the estimation of the slopes of the urea dependence of the fluorescence of the folded and unfolded states, arising from the solvent exposure of the Trp side chain.

47. HNα coupling constants. With a set of 40 sequential, 48 nonsequential, and 11 dihedral restraints, a family of 45 structures without NOE violations larger than 0.2 Å were generated using DYANA [P. Güntert, C. Mumenthaler, K. Wüthrich, J. Mol. Biol. 273, 283 (1997)]. The rms deviation from the average minimized structure in the well-ordered region of residues 3-18 was 0.96 Å for the backbone atoms and 1.93 Å for all heavy atoms.
