X Abstract

Predicting the structure of protein-protein complexes using docking approaches is a difficult problem whose major challenges include identifying correct solutions, and properly dealing with molecular flexibility and conformational changes. Flexibility can be addressed at several levels: implicitly, by smoothing the protein surfaces or allowing some degree of interpenetration (soft docking) or by performing multiple docking runs from various conformations (cross or ensemble docking); or explicitly, by allowing sidechain and/or backbone flexibility. Although significant improvements have been achieved in the modeling of sidechains, methods for the explicit inclusion of backbone flexibility in docking are still being developed. A few novel approaches have emerged involving collective degrees of motion, multicopy representations and multibody docking, which should allow larger conformational changes to be modeled.

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.
