Abstract
Attractive chlorine: Noncovalent interactions between chlorine or bromine atoms and aromatic rings in proteins open up a new method for the manipulation of molecular recognition. Substitution at distinct positions of two factor Xa inhibitors improves the free energy of binding by interaction with a tyrosine unit. The generality of this motif was underscored by multiple crystal structures as well as high-level quantum chemical calculations (see picture).Entities:
