Features of protein–protein interactions that translate into potent inhibitors: topology, surface area and affinity
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) control the assembly of multi-protein complexes and,
thus, these contacts have enormous potential as drug targets. However, the field has …

Preformed structural elements feature in partner recognition by intrinsically unstructured proteins
Intrinsically unstructured proteins (IUPs) are devoid of extensive structural order but often
display signs of local and limited residual structure. To explain their effective functioning, we …
