X Abstract

We have developed a new method to predict protein- protein complexes based on the shape complementarity of the molecular surfaces, along with sequence conservation obtained by evolutionary trace (ET) analysis. The docking is achieved by optimization of an object function that evaluates the degree of shape complementarity weighted by the conservation of the interacting residues. The optimization is carried out using a genetic algorithm in combination with Monte Carlo sampling. We applied this method to CAPRI targets and evaluated the performance systematically. Consequently, our method could achieve native-like predictions in several cases. In addition, we have analyzed the feasibility of the ET method for docking simulations, and found that the conservation information was useful only in a limited category of proteins (signal related proteins and enzymes).

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
