Domain swapping is a consequence of minimal frustration [PDF]
The same energy landscape principles associated with the folding of proteins into their monomeric conformations should also describe how these proteins oligomerize into domain-swapped conformations. We tested this hypothesis by using a simplified model for the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 8 src homology 3 domain protein, both of ...

Dramatic structural changes resulting from the loss of a crucial hydrogen bond in the hinge region involved in C-terminal helix swapping in SurE: a survival protein from Salmonella typhimurium. [PDF]
Domain swapping is an interesting feature of some oligomeric proteins in which each protomer of the oligomer provides an identical surface for exclusive interaction with a segment or domain belonging to another protomer.

Structure and stability of recombinant bovine odorant-binding protein: I. Design and analysis of monomeric mutants [PDF]
Bovine odorant-binding protein (bOBP) differs from other lipocalins by lacking the conserved disulfide bond and for being able to form the domain-swapped dimers.
