I would not conclude that they produce stronger protein-protein interactions for use as potential molecular glues.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/shrimay-saikia/homework/week-05-hw-protein-design-part-ii/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
