Transmembrane beta-barrel proteins (TMBs) serve a multitude of essential cellular functions in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Transfer free energies (TFEs) of residues in the transmembrane (TM) region provides fundamental quantifications of thermodynamic stabilities of TMBs, which are important for the folding and the membrane insertion processes, and may help in understanding the structure-function relationship. However, experimental measurement of TFEs of TMBs is challenging. Although a recent computational method can be used to calculate TFEs, the results of which are in excellent agreement with experimentally measured values, this method does not scale up, and is limited to small TMBs.
