    Abstract : We study the effects of macromolecular crowding with interacting crowders in the simple HP-model of protein folding, by performing Monte Carlo simulations of a single flexible HP protein in the presence of folded rigid crowders. In contrast to the well-known stabilization of steric crowders, we find that interacting crowders usually destabilize the test protein, often significantly so. READ MORE
