Template-Based Docking
An alternative to docking is to use a template, and build a model of a protein-protein
complex by analogy to one of known structure. When both components of two com-
plexes are close homologs with a high level of sequence identity (40% or more),
it is straightforward to model build both the components and their assembly, but the
method has a very limited field of application. It can be extended by accepting tem-
plates with a low level of sequence identity, or templates that have similar three-
dimensional structures irrespective of their sequences, under the assumption that the
mode of interaction is conserved (Lu et al.
2002
; Sinha et al.
2010
; Kundrotas et al.
2012
). Although the limits of validity of this assumption are uncertain, genome-wide
