==Overview==

A 108 amino acid protein was designed and constructed from a reduced, alphabet of seven amino acids. The 2.9 A resolution X-ray crystal, structure confirms that the protein is a four helix bundle, as it was, designed to be. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange experiments reveal buried, amide protons with protection factors in excess of 1 x 10(6) in the range, characteristic of well protected protons in functional folded proteins, (10(3)-10(8)) rather than protons in rapid exchange (0-10(2)). The protein, is monomeric at 1 mM, the concentration at which the exchange experiments, were undertaken, indicating that the exchange factors are due to a unique, stable tertiary structure fold, and not due to any higher order quaternary, structure. Thermodynamic analysis provides an estimate of the free energy, of folding of -9.3 kcal mole-1 at 25 degrees C, consistent with the free, energy of folding derived from the protection factors of the most, protected protons, indicating that global unfolding is required for, exchange of the most protected protons.
