PPIs in the table represent all interactions contained in both the 2P2I (Ref. 50) and TIMBAL (Ref. 51) databases, as well as a select set of recent literary examples.

a

When direct binding data was not available, Ki or IC50 values were used instead.

b

The absolute value for surface area has not been described for these interactions. The values in the table are predictions based off of known structural information.

c

Predicted value (Ref. 157).
