Packing of apolar amino acids is not a strong stabilizing force in transmembrane helix dimerization.
Gilbert J. Loiseau, Alessandro Senes
The paper designs and tests transmembrane helix dimers to assess if apolar side chain packing and van der Waals interactions are sufficient for stabilizing dimerization, finding they are weak unless highly optimized.
