Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protein stability appears to be governed by non-covalent interactions. These can be local (between residues close in sequence) or non-local (medium-range and long-range interactions). The specific role of local interactions is controversial. Statistical mechanics arguments point out that local interactions must be weak in stable folded proteins. However, site-directed mutagenesis has revealed that...
