Abstract: Predicting the three-dimensional structures of protein-protein complexes is a major challenge for computational biology. Using a Voronoi tessellation model of protein structure, we showed previously that it was possible to use an evolutionary algorithm to train a scoring function to distinguish reliably between native and non-native docking conformations. Here, we show that this approach can be further improved by combining it with rigid body docking predictions generated by the Hex docking algorithm. This new approach is able to rank an acceptable or better conformation within the top 10 predictions for 7 out of the 9 targets available from rounds 8 to 18 of the CAPRI docking experiment.
