The halogen bond, in which a halogen bonded to carbon bindsweakly to a Lewis base, has gained attention as a noncovalent interaction analogousto the hydrogen bond. Quantitative experimental data concerning the halogenbond in solution is lacking. We will describe a model system for two-stateprotein folding that is designed for quantitative evaluation of the energy ofthe halogen bond. The effects of solvent polarity on halogen bond energy willbe reported.
