Well, I guess I have always been curious what is the gold standard here--perhaps SEC, ITC, SPR, pulldowns? What if SEC shows a polydisperse sample with weak oligomerization, or SPR a very weak binding constant? Do we then revert to a functional assay? Or what if the functional assay does not show a

I get confused by these figures. As I understand it the "interface area" given in Pisa is half the loss of accessible area on forming the complex: is that right? We're working on a complex with interface area ~500A^2, where the complex is stable enough for gel filtration, and with a measured Kd

720 is not an impressive size for a stable interface, but it may do depending on molecule size and exact chemistry of the interface (h-bonds, salt bridges, disulphides, charges etc etc). Everything is subject to chemical environment and concentration, as usual. For these entries, PISA gives diss

Like Jan, I find it very useful to sort out the clear cut cases. Otherwise it is easy to get things wrong.. But isnt a buried surface area of 720 rather small for a stable interface? If there is other confirming evidence like 2 diff space groups then you feel more secure!! On 09/01/2011 02:

I guess both of the mentioned possibilities occur and it is hard to judge which one it is for a particular case. PISA is extremely useful for clear-cut cases to judge them quick. In the "borderline" ones it remains to be the task of the research teams to prove what sort of oligomerisation state is

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/prot_int/pi_ilist_css.html so it depends on how many 'stable assemblies' pisa can find i suppose. more interfaces and especially if stable enough will make your fraction go down. i would have been more surprised or worried if that conservative mutation showed radically
