limits of what is achievable in protein-DNA docking: Benchmarking HADDOCK's performance

· 0 citations · 72 references

TL;DR

The flexible data-driven docking method HADDOCK is able to predict many of the specific DNA conformational changes required to assemble the interface(s) and is the first to readily dock multiple molecules simultaneously, pushing the limits of what is currently achievable in the field of protein–DNA docking.

Prot2Surf: fast analysis of protein–surface binding modes

Summary Prot2Surf is a software tool designed for the characterization and prediction of protein association to surfaces. In this application note, Prot2Surf was tested using catalytic domains of the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), interacting with native surfaces. The results show that the software can ef...
