Substitution of methionine for threonine at position 790 would be predicted to result in steric hindrance of erlotinib binding to EGFR (Figure 2).
The profile of these mismatches showed that mismatches near the 3' (solution) or 5' (surface) end of the probe affected the hybridization signal nearly equivalently, demonstrating that the surface did not generate steric effects in the hybridization.
However, intermolecular steric interactions figure just as prominently in gene-regulatory systems, as exemplified in the classic problem of the lysis-lysogeny 'genetic switch' of lambda phage [ 15].
This system is modeled in Figure 6to illustrate how activation and inhibition arrows can be adapted to represent both steric hindrance and mutual cooperativity of binding.
For example, steric hindrance caused by substitution of bulky Phe for Gly78 (residue numbers are given with reference to Lhcbl) in the position designated a 6 [ 29 ] prevented this peptide carbonyl, non-H-bonded because of Pro82 one helical turn further, from serving as a ligand (see Fig.
