Protein-protein interactions in a crowded environment: an analysis via cross-docking simulations and evolutionary information.

Large-scale analyses of protein-protein interactions based on coarse-grain molecular docking simulations and binding site predictions resulting from evolutionary sequence analysis, are possible and realizable on hundreds of proteins with variate structures and interfaces. We demonstrated this on the...
