  15. The 15 interactions identified occur in all parts of the protein. Some of them are completely buried and others are partially exposed to the solvent. B-eye-lens-crystallin (1amm, 1.2 Å)

  16. Interactions are referred to as local if the sequence distance is smaller than 10. 41% of C-H...-interactions are local.

  17. C-H...-Interactions in Proteins • 63% of this interaction type are local. • 89% of the –3 peak interactions occur in helices. • This interaction may be a major stabilizing element • in -helices.

  21. C-H...-Interactions in Proteins C-H... and C-H...O/N interactions are opportunistic ???

  22. C-H...-Interactions in Proteins • Most prominent are interactions between aliphatic or aromatic C-H donors and aromatic acceptors. • About three quarters of all Trp-rings, half of all Phe- and Tyr-rings and a quarter of His-rings are involved as acceptors in C-H...-interactions. • On the donor side there is a preference for aromatic C-H groups, for prolines and for the long extended aliphatic amino acids Lys, Arg and Met. • C-H...-interactions involving aromatic groups either as donor or as acceptor are found mostly in the interior of the protein. The more hydrophilic the participating groups are, the closer to the surface are the interactions located. • It is likely that C-H...-interactions contribute significantly to overall protein stability.

  23. More Hydrogen Bonds for the (Structural) Biologist

  24. More Hydrogen Bonds for the (Structural) Biologist A general concept of hydrogen bonding in proteins is emerging. This concept involves not only N-H and O-H donor groups, but also C-H, and not only N and O as acceptor groups, but also -systems. We postulate that the incorporation of the entirety of these interactions leads to a more complete description of protein structures. M. S. Weiss, M. Brandl, J. Sühnel, D. Pal, R. Hilgenfeld.
