Abstract excerpt
The folding, stability, and oligomerization of helical membrane proteins depend in part on a precise set of packing interactions between transmembrane helices. To understand the energetic principles of these helix-helix interactions, we have used alanine-scanning mutagenesis and sedimentation equ...
