Abstract
Significance Macromolecular crowding influences protein−protein interactions via hard-core repulsions and chemical interactions. Scaled particle theory predicts that the effect of hard-core repulsions depends on the shape of the protein complex, and simple ideas about chemical interactions predict a dominant role for the chemical qualities of the protein surface. The theory predicts that a collapsed, ellipsoidal, dimer will be stabilized by...
