Abstract

Protein–protein interactions are central to many biological processes, from intracellular communication to cytoskeleton assembly, and therefore represent an important class of targets for new therapeutics. The most common secondary structure in natural proteins is an α-helix. Small molecules seem to be attractive candidates for stabilizing or disrupting protein– protein interactions based on α-helices. In our study, we assessed the ability of ...
