Keywords

  • Biological processes, and communication between proteins - specific surface interactions
  • Coactivator proteins, multiple repeats - conserved Leu-X-X-Leu-Leu (LXXLL) motif
  • Inhibitors of protein-protein interactions - allies in fight against HIV-1 epidemic
  • Nuclear estrogen receptor inhibition
  • Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) - normal cell function and regulating processes
  • Protein-protein interactions - mediated by binding epitope, residues as a-helix, β-turn or a β-sheet
