β¦ Synopsis
YETI, an interactive molecular mechanics program for drug-design applications on small-molecule protein complexes, is described. To model short-range interactions in better agreement with experimental data, its force-field energy expression includes directional potential functions for H-bonds, salt linkages, and metal ligand interactions. The program works on an internal coordinate concept and uses a conjugate-gradient minimizer. YETI is available for distribution through the author. The program has been used to model details of small-molecule binding to the enzyme human carbonic anhydrase I.
The impact of the directional potential functions on the geometry of H-bonds and metal-ligand interactions is discussed.

The human spliceosomal Sm B/BΠ proteins are essential for the biogenesis of the snRNP particles. B/BΠ proteins contain several clusters of the PPPPGM/IR sequence, which occurs within the C-terminus of Sm B/BΠ. This sequence is very similar to the PPPPPGHR sequence of the cytoplasmic tail of the CD2
