It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

After conquering the atomic structure about a century ago, chemists have been largely
interested in understanding the concept of chemical bond and the formation of a molecule …

On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

Protein–protein association is fundamental to many life processes. However, a microscopic
model describing the structures and kinetics during association and dissociation is lacking …

Capsaicin in chili peppers bestows the sensation of spiciness. Since the discovery of its
receptor, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel, how capsaicin …

Binding of one protein to another is involved in nearly all biological functions, yet the
principles governing the interaction of proteins are not fully understood. To analyze the …

The non-covalent assembly of proteins that fold separately is central to many biological
processes, and differs from the permanent macromolecular assembly of protein subunits in …

Absolute binding free energy calculations and free energy decompositions are presented for
the protein–protein complexes H-Ras/C-Raf1 and H-Ras/RalGDS. Ras is a central switch in …

For mapping energetic interactions in proteins, a technique was developed that uses
evolutionary data for a protein family to measure statistical interactions between amino acid …

The structure of a protein complex together with information about its affinity and other
thermodynamic characteristics provide a “frozen” view of the complex. This picture ignores …
