摘要
The alpha helices of transmembrane proteins interact to form higher order structures. These interactions are frequently mediated by packing motifs (such as GxxxG) and polar residues. Recent structural data have revealed that small sidechains are able to both stabilize helical membrane proteins and allow conformational changes in the structure. The strong interactions involving polar sidechains often contribute to protein misfolding or malfunction.
