In atomic force spectroscopic studies of the elastomeric protein ubiquitin,the β-strands 1-5 serve as the force clamp.Simulations show how the rupture force in the force-induced unfolding depends on the kinetics of water molecule insertion into positions where they can eventually form hydrogen bonding bridges with the backbone hydrogen bonds in the force-clamp region.The intrusion of water into this region is slowed down by the hydrophobic shielding effect of carbonaceous groups on the surface residues of β-strands 1-5,which thereby regulates water insertion prior to hydrogen bond breakage.
