Abstract excerpt
The energetic contributions of individual DNA-contacting side chains to specific DNA recognition in the human papillomavirus 16 E2C-DNA complex is small (less than 1.0 kcal mol(-1)), independent of the physical and chemical nature of the interaction, and is strictly additive. The sum of the individual contributions differs 1.0 kcal mol(-1) from the binding energy of the wild-type protein. This difference...
