Abstract excerpt
We have studied the thermodynamics of the interaction between the ribonuclease barnase and its natural polypeptide inhibitor barstar. The contribution of specific residues and interactions within the barnase-barstar interface to the enthalpy of binding has been examined using isothermal titration calorimetry and protein engineering. The enthalpy of association of the wild-type proteins is -18.9 (+/-0.1) kcal/mol...
