  • With cross-linking studies, it could be shown that the hydrophobicity of the signal sequence is crucial for SRP binding, since lowering the hydrophobicity resulted in less efficient cross-linking 15 , 16 . (nature.com)
  • A crucial residue that stabilises the equilibrium structure of the DBD fold itself is a cysteine residue situated in the hydrophobic core of all known nuclear hormone receptors (but not involved in metal binding): it appears to be conserved absolutely for its unique combination of size and hydrophobicity.
