Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0009-2614(95)00442-7

By using one Asp or one Glu per thirty residues in a polytricosapeptide capable of exhibiting a hydrophobic folding and assembly transition and stepwise converting a set of the five Val residues( most proximal to the Asp or Glu residue) to more-hydrophobi
