Distinguishing crystallographic from biological interfaces in protein complexes: role of intermolecular contacts and energetics for classification

Abstract Background Study of macromolecular assemblies is fundamental to understand functions in cells. X-ray crystallography is the most common technique to solve their 3D structure at atomic resolution. In a crystal, however, both biologically-relevant interfaces and non-specific interfaces result...
