Features of protein–protein interactions that translate into potent inhibitors: topology, surface area and affinity
1 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) control the assembly of multi-protein complexes and, thus, these contacts have enormous potential as drug targets. However, the field has produced a mix of both exciting success stories and frustrating challenges. Here, we review known examples and explore how the physical features of a PPI, such as its affinity, hotspots, off-rates, buried surface area and topology, might...
