P3DOCK: a protein-RNA docking webserver based on template-based and template-free docking

摘要

Motivation The main function of protein-RNA interaction is to regulate the expression of genes. Therefore, studying protein-RNA interactions is of great significance. The information of three-dimensional (3D) structures reveals that atomic interactions are particularly important. The calculation method for modeling a 3D structure of a complex mainly includes two strategies: free docking and template-based docking. These two methods are complementary in protein-protein docking. Therefore, integrating these two methods may improve the prediction accuracy.
