Druggable protein interaction sites are more predisposed to surface pocket formation than the rest of the protein surface.

Despite intense interest and considerable effort via high-throughput screening, there are few examples of small molecules that directly inhibit protein-protein interactions. This suggests that many protein interaction surfaces may not be intrinsically "druggable" by small molecules, and el...
