Figure 5.

Schematic depiction of a system in which only one monomer contains a prominent hydrophobic core. Elimination of residues involved in complexation (right-hand image) leads to better accordance with the model when considering the dimer as a whole. Blue and pink lines: distributions in monomers, gray line: distribution in dimer. (A) Status of the individual monomers (blue and pink) versus the resultant distribution in dimer (gray); (B) The removal of the interface (black bar) does not change the status of the dimer—Distribution still discordant versus the expected one.
