Experimental and computational studies of determinants of membrane-protein folding.
Recent experiments and analysis have demonstrated the important roles of hydrogen bonding and polar-polar interactions in driving transmembrane helix-helix association. Further details of the energetics of helix-helix association and interhelical packing geometry are being mapped out. Many sequence motifs and a few spatial motifs promoting helical associations have also been identified.
