Abstract excerpt
We have searched for intermolecular aromatic pairs in 77 protein-protein complexes of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) to understand the role of π-π interactions in protein-protein interactions involving IDPs. We found that 40% of the complexes possess at least one intermolecular pair of aromatic residues. Analysis of composition, characteristics, location and the contribution to the free energy of...
