present a new scoring function for the initial stage of unbound docking. It combines our …

Protein–protein association kinetics and protein docking

CJ Camacho, S Vajda - Current opinion in structural biology, 2002 - Elsevier
Rigid body protein docking methods frequently yield false positive structures that have good
surface complementarity, but are far from the native complex. The main reason for this is the …

Docking unbound proteins using shape complementarity, desolvation, and electrostatics

R Chen, Z Weng - Proteins: Structure, Function, and …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
A comprehensive docking study was performed on 27 distinct protein‐protein complexes.
For 13 test systems, docking was performed with the unbound X‐ray structures of both the …

Crystal contacts as nature's docking solutions

E Krissinel - Journal of computational chemistry, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The assumption that crystal contacts reflect natural macromolecular interactions makes a
basis for many studies in structural biology. However, the crystal state may correspond to a …

Sampling and scoring: A marriage made in heaven

S Vajda, DR Hall, D Kozakov - Proteins: Structure, Function …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Most structure prediction algorithms consist of initial sampling of the conformational space,
