Most proteins perform their biological function by interacting with themselves or other
molecules. Thus, one may obtain biological insights into protein functions, disease …

The function of antibodies (Abs) involves specific binding to antigens (Ags) and activation of
other components of the immune system to fight pathogens. The six hypervariable loops …

Predicting the functional sites of a protein from its structure, such as the binding sites of small
molecules, other proteins or antibodies, sheds light on its function in vivo. Currently, two …

Virtual screening (VS) is a powerful technique for identifying hit molecules as starting points
for medicinal chemistry. The number of methods and softwares which use the ligand and …

Identification of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) is at the center of molecular biology
considering the unquestionable role of proteins in cells. Combinatorial interactions result in …

We present a series of databanks (http://swift. cmbi. ru. nl/gv/facilities/) that hold information
that is computationally derived from Protein Data Bank (PDB) entries and that might …

Background Reliable prediction of antibody, or B-cell, epitopes remains challenging yet
highly desirable for the design of vaccines and immunodiagnostics. A correlation between …

Proteins are the working horse of the cellular machinery. They are responsible for diverse
functions ranging from molecular motors to signaling. They catalyze reactions, transport …

Background Macromolecular complexes are the molecular machines of the cell. Knowledge
at the atomic level is essential to understand and influence their function. However, their …

The binding of antigens to antibodies is one of the key events in an immune response
against foreign molecules and is a critical element of several biomedical applications …
