Relationship between conformational populations and interfacial interactions (hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions).

<p>The interfacial potential energy is decomposed into hydrophobic energy and electrostatic energy . The energy distribution of average and of all eight linkage types is shown. The population distribution of open, closed, compact states is represented by magenta, orange and black pies, respectively. The compact state (black) is further decomposed into the I36I36 (red), I36I44 (blue) and other states (green).
