Abstract

Computational protein-protein docking is one of the most intensively studied topics in structural bioinformatics. The field has made substantial progress through over three decades of development. The development began with methods for rigid-body docking of two proteins, which have now been extended in different directions to cover the various macromolecular interactions observed in a cell. Here, we overview the recent developments of the variations of docking methods, including multiple protein docking, peptide-protein docking, and disordered protein docking methods.
