Advances to tackle backbone flexibility in protein docking
Ameya Harmalkar,

Abstract:Computational docking methods can provide structural models of protein-protein complexes, but protein backbone flexibility upon association often thwarts accurate predictions. In recent blind challenges, medium or high accuracy models were submitted in less than 20% of the "difficult" targets (with significant backbone change or uncertainty). Here, we describe recent developments in protein-protein docking and highlight advances that tackle backbone flexibility. In molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo approaches… Show more
