Hello CCP4 users,
Based on the crystal structure of a two molecule protein complex, I have mutated (alanine substitutions) one of the putative binding interface. The mutant binds with much higher affinity than the wild type. 
However, the signature plot of ITC data reveals a decrease in the enthalpy but increase on the entropy (deltaS). Thus overall increase in deltaG.
I want to know if it’s relevant biological interface or a crystal artifact. 
Suggestions please.

Thanks
