KBDOCK 2013: a spatial classification of 3D protein domain family interactions.

ABSTRACT: Comparing, classifying and modelling protein structural interactions can enrich our understanding of many biomolecular processes. This contribution describes Kbdock (http://kbdock.loria.fr/), a database system that combines the Pfam domain classification with coordinate data from the PDB to analyse and model 3D domain-domain interactions (DDIs). Kbdock can be queried using Pfam domain identifiers, protein sequences or 3D protein structures. For a given query domain or pair of domains, Kbdock retrieves and displays a non-redundant list of homologous DDIs or domain-peptide interactions in a common coordinate frame. Kbdock may also be used to search for and visualize interactions involving different, but structurally similar, Pfam families. Thus, structural DDI templates may be proposed even
