The complete pathway of the association of a proline‐rich motif to an SH3 domain was probed by molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate a bimodal binding mechanism, in which nature uses the reduction in dimensionality and hydrophobic dewetting as tools to find a simple solution to a seemingly complicated binding process.
