Hot spots in protein-protein interfaces: towards drug discovery.

Abstract excerpt

Identification of drug-like small molecules that alter protein-protein interactions might be a key step in drug discovery. However, it is very challenging to find such molecules that target interface regions in protein complexes. Recent findings indicate that such molecules usually target specifically energetically favored residues (hot spots) in protein-protein interfaces. These residues contribute to the...
