Abstract

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are pivotal for driving diverse biological processes, and any disturbance in these interactions can lead to disease. Thus, the study of PPIs has been a central focus in biology. Recent developments in deep learning methods, coupled with the vast genomic sequence data, have significantly boosted the accuracy of predicting protein structures and modeling protein complexes, approaching levels comparable to experimental techniques. Herein, we review the latest advances in the computational methods for modeling 3D protein complexes and the prediction of protein interaction partners, emphasizing the application of deep learning methods deriving from coevolution analysis. The review also highlights biomedical applications of PPI prediction and outlines challenges in the field.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
