Identification and scoring of partial covalent interactions in proteins and protein ligand complexes

Partial covalent interactions (PCI) such as hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, cation-π, and π-π interactions contribute to protein thermostability. Algorithms that identify PCIs rely on pairwise atom-atom angles and distances, neglecting that PCIs occur between an electron deficient hydrogen and an elec...
