Abstract excerpt
Theoretical, statistical, and model studies suggest that proteins are stabilized by weakly polar attractions between sulfur atoms and properly oriented aromatic rings. The two sulfur-containing amino acids, methionine and cysteine, occur frequently among functional alleles in random mutant librar...
