(color online) Short-range non-bonded energies between different groups of the pulled and fixed parts as a function of ξ for the intra- and inter-sheet structures at T = 300 K. Panels (a) and (c) are non-bonded energies of the hydrophobic side chain-side chain and hydrophilic backbone-backbone interactions for the intra-sheet structure, and panels (b) and (d) are those for the inter-sheet structure.
