Molecular design principles underlying β-strand swapping in the adhesive dimerization of cadherins
Cell adhesion by classical cadherins is mediated by dimerization of their EC1 domains through the “swapping” of N-terminal β-strands. We use molecular simulations, measurements of binding affinities, and x-ray crystallography to provide a detailed picture of the structural and energetic factors that...
