title: Large-scale structural modeling of protein complexes at low resolution.
abstract: Structural aspects of protein-protein interactions provided by large-scale, genome-wide studies are essential for the description of life processes at the molecular level. A methodology is developed that applies the protein docking approach (GRAMM), based on the knowledge of experimentally determined protein-protein structures (DOCKGROUND resource) and properties of intermolecular energy landscapes, to genome-wide systems of protein interactions. The full sequence-to-structure-of-complex modeling pipeline is implemented in the Genome Wide Docking Database (GWIDD) resource. Protein interaction data are imported to GWIDD from external datasets of experimentally determined interaction networks. Essential information is extracted and unified to form the GWIDD database. Structures of individual interacting proteins in the database are retrieved (if available) or modeled, and protein complex structures are predicted by the docking program. All protein sequence, structure, and docking information is conveniently accessible through a Web interface.
