The protrusion-domain (P-domain) of Penaeus vannamei nodavirus (PvNV) exists as two dimer-dimer conformations: one is a protein dimer and the other is a protein tetramer. We undertook a theoretical study to gain a clear understanding of the nature of the stabilizing interactions at the dimeric interfaces of the dimeric and tetrameric conformations of the PvNV P-domain (PvNVPd) using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and natural-bond o...
