	Helices A and C have breaks in the hydrogen-bonding pattern of their structure, forming tight substitute hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Indeed, it results in a kink in helix A (and slightly in helix C between residues Gln112 and Pro116) induced by a disruption in the helical conformation, due to the Gln25 and Leu30 hydrogen bonds with four water molecules. Helix A residues between Thr27 and Ile37 take on a 310 helix conformation. With this curved structure, helices A and C enhance the compaction of the A-D and B-C parallel helix pairs, causing the core of OSM to be isolated from the solvent.

Helix A residues between Thr27 and Ile37 take on a 310 helix conformation. With this curved structure, helices A and C enhance the compaction of the A-D and B-C parallel helix pairs, causing the core of OSM to be isolated from the solvent.

	This core is composed of two aromatic stacking groups, Phe56, Tyr, 173, Phe169 and Phe176 on one hand, and Phe170, Phe185 and Trp187 on the other hand. All these aromatic residues belong to helix D, except Phe56 (AB loop) and Phe70 (Helix B), highlighting the hydrophobicity of helix D.
