Abstract excerpt
Buried within cytochrome c lies a highly-conserved helix-helix interface formed by the perpendicular packing of the C-terminal helix against the N-terminal helix. This interface involves a peg-in-hole interaction between Gly-6 and Leu-94 and an aromatic-aromatic interaction between Phe-10 and Tyr-97. To gain insight into protein design, we investigated the relationship between the sequence of the interface and...
