3. Model of macromolecular interactions Removal of single methyl groups can destabilize proteins --> jigsaw puzzle-like packing crucial Buried polar atoms almost always hydrogen bonded --> treat hydrogen bonding as accurately as possible Exposed charge substitutions generally have little effect --> damp long range elctrostatics Focus on short range interactions!

32. Computing Structural Biology Free energy function reasonable => Computing simple protein structures and interactions now appears to be within reach Implications for structural genomics? More cpu power => more accurate predictions for larger proteins For larger complexes, experimental data essential (low resolution electron density!). Symmetry helps! Modeling accuracy also illustrated by structures of designed proteins
