Protein sequence optimization with a pairwise decomposable penalty for buried unsatisfied hydrogen bonds.

In aqueous solution, polar groups make hydrogen bonds with water, and hence burial of such groups in the interior of a protein is unfavorable unless the loss of hydrogen bonds with water is compensated by formation of new ones with other protein groups. For this reason, buried "unsatisfied"...
