Table 3 Mean stabilization energy (E(2)) of the corresponding n(O)/σ(CO)/π(CO)→σ*(NH/CαHα) electron delocalization for each CO···HN, CO···HαCα front, CO···HαCα inner and CO···HαCα outer H-bond/interaction between PPII helices in the different interfaces at the M06-2X/6-31 + G(d) level of theory
From: Hydrogen bonding patterns and cooperativity in polyproline II helical bundles
