Abstract excerpt
The complex of barnase (bn) and barstar (bs), which has been widely studied as a model for quantitative analysis of protein-protein interactions, is significantly destabilized by a single mutation, namely, bs Asp39 --> Ala, which corresponds to a change of 7.7 kcal x mol(-1) in the free energy of binding. However, there has been no structural information available to explain such a drastic destabilization. In the...
