Abstract excerpt
Helix-helix interactions within membranes are dominated by van der Waals packing motifs and side chain-side chain hydrogen bond formation, which act in tandem to determine the residues that comprise the interface between two given helices. To explore in a systematic manner the tertiary contacts between transmembrane helices, we have designed and expressed in Escherichia coli highly hydrophobic helix-loop-helix...
