“…This will output a list of high-quality, direct virus-host PPI targets, from which the interacting domains can be predicted in silico using motif-domain and/or domain-domain complementarity approaches, as described in Maseko et al. 20 Indeed, many viral proteins contain short linear motifs (SLiM), which are predicted to bind known complementary host protein domains. Alternatively, structure-based protein-protein docking can be carried out using experimental structures available in the Protein Data Bank or predicted structures in the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database.…”
