Elucidating transient protein interactions with multiple dockings
September 2007
KrBa07
Intelligent drug design requires a good understanding of protein interaction mechanisms. The rapid advance of high-throughput methods of protein structure determination gives us an exponential growth in known protein structures, but the problem of determining the structure of protein complexes is still a hard one to solve, especially for fast transient interactions, which are very common in catalysis and important targets for drugs. In this paper we present a modeling approach for trying to predict protein-protein complexes by using constraint propagation techniques to incorporate information about the mechanism, and also to speed up calculations and make it more practical to compare a large number of docking simulations with similar partners in order to overcome the difficulty of modeling very weak interactions. As an example, we tested this approach on an electron transfer interaction that is part of photosynthesis in plants.
