DIP/Dpr interactions and the evolutionary design of specificity in protein families

Dpr (Defective proboscis extension response) and DIP (Dpr Interacting Proteins) are immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion proteins that form highly specific pairwise interactions, which control synaptic connectivity during Drosophila development. Here, the authors combine a computational approach w...
