Predicting the effect of adding PEG to the conductance of cholera toxin B5


The graph compares the experimentally found21 effect of adding polyethylene glycol of differing molecular weight (marked by red error bars) with that the profile expected from HOLE calculations (the green line) on the basis of the crystal structure19. The structure can be seen to be compatible with the data. For further details see Smart et al.11
