Published: March 2017

We report the performance of our protein-protein docking pipeline, including the ZDOCK rigid-body docking algorithm, on 19 targets in CAPRI rounds 28-34. Following the docking step, we reranked the ZDOCK predictions using the IRAD scoring function, pruned redundant predictions, performed energy landscape analysis, and utilized our interface prediction approach RCF. In addition, we applied constraints to the search space based on biological information that we culled from the literature, which increased the chance of making a correct prediction. For all but two targets we were able to find and apply biological information and we found the information to be highly accurate, indicating that effective incorporation of biological information is an important component for protein-protein docking.

The HADDOCK team participated in CAPRI rounds 47-55 as server, manual predictor, and scorers. Throughout these CAPRI rounds, we used a plethora of computational strategies to predict the structure of protein complexes. Of the 10 targets comprising 24 interfaces, we achieved acceptable or better models for 3 targets in the human category and 1 in the server category.

Membrane proteins play crucial roles in various cellular processes, and their interactions with other proteins in and on the membrane are essential for their proper functioning. While an increasing number of structures of more membrane proteins are being determined, the available structure data is still sparse. To gain insights into the mechanisms of membrane protein complexes, computational docking methods are necessary due to the challenge of experimental determination.

Comparing accuracies of structural protein-protein interaction (PPI) models for different complexes on an absolute scale is a challenge, requiring normalization of scores across structures of different sizes and shapes. To help address this challenge, we have developed a statistical significance metric for docking models, called random-docking (RD) p-value. This score evaluates a PPI model based on how likely a random docking process is to produce a model of better or equal accuracy.
