Abstract:
Protein-protein docking is an important computational tool for studying protein-protein interactions. A variety of docking programs with different sampling algorithms and scoring functions as well as computational efficiencies have been subsequently developed over the last decades. Here, we have reviewed the trend and performance of current global docking programs through a comprehensive assessment of the 18 docking/scoring protocols of 14 global docking programs on the latest protein docking benchmark 4.0. The effects of docking algorithms, interaction types, and conformational changes on the docking performance were investigated and discussed. The findings are expected to provide a general guideline for the choice of an appropriate docking protocol and offer insights into the optimization and development of docking and scoring algorithms.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
Conserved Binding Sites
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...
Protein Networks
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...
