Abstract excerpt
The side-chains of phenylalanine and tyrosine residues in proteins are frequently found to be involved in pairwise interactions. These occur both within repeating elements of secondary structure and in tertiary and quaternary interactions. It has been suggested that they are important in protein folding and stability, and non-bonded potential energy calculations indicate that a typical aromatic-aromatic...
