X Abstract

A residue-based and a heavy atom-based statistical pair potential are developed for use in assessing the strength of protein-protein interactions. To ensure the quality of the potentials, a nonredundant, high-quality dimer database is constructed. The protein complexes in this dataset are checked by a literature search to confirm that they form multimers, and the pairwise amino acid preference to interact across a protein-protein interface is analyzed and pair potentials constructed. The performance of the residue-based potentials is evaluated by using four jackknife tests and by assessing the potentials' ability to select true protein-protein interfaces from false ones. Compared to potentials developed for monomeric protein structure prediction, the interdomain potential performs much better at distinguishing protein-protein interactions. The potential developed from homodimer interfaces is almost the same as that developed from heterodimer interfaces with a correlation coefficient of 0.92. The residue-based potential is well suited for genomic scale protein interaction prediction and analysis, such as in a recently developed threading-based algorithm, MULTIPROSPECTOR. However, the more time-consuming atom-based potential performs better in identifying near-native structures from docking generated decoys.

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.
