Rob Russell -
Protein interactions are central to most biological processes, and are currently the subject of great interest. Yet despite the many recently developed methods to identify protein interactions, little attention has been paid to one of the best sources of data: complexes of known three-dimensional (3D) structure. In this talk I will discuss how such complexes can be used to study and predict protein interactions & complexes, and to interrogate interaction networks proposed by methods such as two-hybrid screens or affinity purifications. I will also discuss how EM data can be combined with bioinformatics & modelling to predict structures for complexes or for parts of interaction networks.
