Plant defensins as a model to study the thermostability of surface hydrophobic clusters: The Pisum sativum defensin 2 (Psd2)
Plant defensins (PDs) display a CSαβ-fold that lacks a canonical hydrophobic core. They display almost all hydrophobic residues on the protein surface. The exposed hydrophobic residues form surface clusters stabilized by the vicinity of hydrophilic residues and the hydration shell. Here, we used Psd...
