Calculated noncovalent interactions in an alpha helix. Hydrogen bonds (green) and hydrophobic interactions (blue) computed on a section of alpha helix. In the 18 residue alpha helix, 14 hydrogen bonds, with energies ranging between -2 and -7 kcal/mol, and 51 hydrophobic interactions, with energies ranging between -0.15 and -0.2 kcal/mol, were identified. With the previous version of calculating hydrophobic interactions in KINARI v1.0, no hydrophobic interactions would be identified within the alpha helix.
