29. We employ a fixed ν = 0.048 to assign stabilities of single or paired residues with helical φ, Ψ angles, but to model helical end effects, we have replaced ν by t. A fixed w = 1.108 and a temperature-dependent t of 0.07 (a 45% increase from t = ν = 0.048 at 2 °C) successfully models Table 1 60 °C chemical shifts.
