  1. †

    The authors dedicate this article to the memory of Walter Kauzmann, a long time member of the Princeton Department of Chemistry. His early insights into the importance of the hydrophobic effect in protein folding were decades ahead of their time, and laid the foundation for the protein design strategy described in this article.
