Abstract excerpt
Mutational experiments show how changes in the hydrophobic cores of proteins affect their stabilities. Here, we estimate these effects computationally, using four-body likelihood potentials obtained by simplicial neighborhood analysis of protein packing (SNAPP). In this procedure, the volume of a known protein structure is tiled with tetrahedra having the center of mass of one amino acid side-chain at each...
