Abstract excerpt
Coulombic interactions between charges on the surface of proteins contribute to stability. It is difficult, however, to estimate their importance by protein engineering methods because mutation of one residue in an ion pair alters the energetics of many interactions in addition to the coulombic energy between the two components. We have estimated the interaction energy between two charged residues, Asp-12 and...
