Our analysis workflow is able to identify and characterize a wide range of minimum energy clusters for each foldamer model in the SC parameter scan. As these models do not have torsion potentials biasing structures into specific equilibrium helix pitches, these emergent helices are primarily driven by the side chain excluded volume and the internal backbone bond-angle of θ B = 120 • . With an internal angle of 120 • we expected to find helices with 6 residues-per-turn, but in practice find helices with halfincrement helices (∼5.5 residues-per-turn and ∼4.5 residues-per-turn). These half-increment helices appear more favorable, as they allow hexagonal-like packing of the side chain beads around the helix.
