a) The mean residue ellipticity [θ] was determined by following formula: Ellipticity ([θ] in cm2
deg dmol-1) = (millidegrees × mean residue weight) / (path length in mm × concentration of
polypeptide in mg ml-1). b) The helical contents of the polypeptides were calculated by the
following equation: helical content = (− [θ222] + 3000) / 39000.
