Insights into changes in binding affinity caused by disease mutations in protein-protein complexes.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of amino acid residues at protein-protein interfaces alters the binding affinity of protein-protein complexes and may lead to diseases. In this study, we have systematically analysed the relationship between the changes in binding affinity upon amino acid substitutions and the effect of mutations as disease-causing or neutral. We observed that a large proportion of disease-causing mutations decrease the...
