For each RM containing peptide, we ran two simulations with different initial conditions of 3 and 10 ns, respectively. If not specified, results reported in this communication are from the 10-ns trajectory.

26. An IHB was assumed to be formed if the distance between the donor (NH) and acceptor (CO) group was smaller than 0.25 nm. For the energy criterion, we used the Kabsch and Sander function: An HB between (NH) and (CO) exists if the energy is ≤-0.5 kcal/mol (for further details see Kabsch, W.; Sander, C. Biopolymers 1983, 22, 2577-2637).
