Lecture 9

Docking; Channels.

Aims

• To describe a method for combinatorial docking.
• To introduce the problem of finding channels in proteins.

Objectives

After this lecture you will be able to:

• explain how combinatorial docking can be used to predict the conformations of large macromolecular complexes;
• describe the problem of finding channels in proteins.

Supplementary Material

Some of the lecture slides are available on-line (1 per page, 4 per page, local scanned copy).

An approach to combinatorial docking is described in: Inbar, Y., Benyamini H., Nussinov R. and Wolfson H.J. (2005) Prediction of multimolecular assemblies by multiple docking. J. Mol. Biol., 349, 435-447 (doi:10.1016/j.jmb.2005.03 .039)
