Prediction of Protein-Protein Binding Interactions in Dimeric Coiled Coils by Information Contained in Folding Energy Landscapes.

ABSTRACT: Coiled coils represent the simplest form of a complex formed between two interacting protein partners. Their extensive study has led to the development of various methods aimed towards the investigation and design of complex forming interactions. Despite the progress that has been made to predict the binding affinities for protein complexes, and specifically those tailored towards coiled coils, many challenges still remain. In this work, we explore whether the information contained in dimeric coiled coil folding energy landscapes can be used to predict binding interactions. Using the published SYNZIP dataset, we start from the amino acid sequence, to simultaneously fold and dock approximately 1000 coiled coil dimers. Assessment of the folding energy landscapes showed that a model based on
