Abstract:
Here, we review recent advances towards the modelling of protein-protein interactions (PPI) at the coarse-grained (CG) level, a technique that is now widely used to understand protein affinity, aggregation and self-assembly behaviour. PPI models of soluble proteins and membrane proteins are separately described, but we note the parallel development that is present in both research fields with three important themes: firstly, combining CG modelling with knowledge-based approaches to predict and refine protein-protein complexes; secondly, using physics-based CG models for de novo prediction of protein-protein complexes; and thirdly modelling of large scale protein aggregates.
