نبذة مختصرة : Proteins are involved in almost all cell processes, with physical interaction between them being key to their function and dictated by its 3D structure. Hence, the study of protein-protein interactions and protein-protein binding is crucial to fully understand biological systems. In this thesis, we present V-D2OCK, a fast and accurate data-driven docking tool for high throughput prediction of the structure of protein complexes. We have also studied the conformational space of potential encounter complexes by means of non-specific decoys obtained by docking in order to develop BADock, an accurate binding affinity predictor from the unbound individual structures. Finally, we have published online an integrated and centralized resource (InteractoMIX) that allows to the research community an easy access to a compendium of bioinformatic web applications to study protein-protein interactions.
