Protein-Protein Docking: Methods and Tools

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Protein-Protein and Domain-Domain Interactions

Abstract

Protein-protein interaction is an important phenomenon in cell and molecular biological events. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular properties of such interaction using biochemical and biophysical techniques. This is laborious and time-consuming. Hence, it is of interest to develop protein-protein docking techniques. We document the currently available protein-protein docking techniques in this chapter.
