Disease-relevant intracellular protein-protein interactions occurring at defined cellular sites possess great potential as drug targets. They permit highly specific pharmacological interference with defined cellular functions. Drugs targeting such interactions are likely to act with fewer side effects than conventional medication influencing whole cell functions. This book discusses therapeutically relevant protein-protein interactions with a major focus on scaffolding proteins tethering signal transduction processes to defined cellular compartments by direct protein-protein interactions. Recent advances in the development of pharmacological agents interfering with protein-protein interactions are highlighted.

A collection of highly successful biochemical, biophysical, genetic, and computational techniques for studying protein-protein interactions. These readily reproducible methods demonstrate how to identify protein interaction partners, qualitatively or quantitatively measure protein-protein interactions in vitro or in vivo, monitor protein-protein interactions as they occur in living cells, and determine interaction interfaces. The techniques described utilize a variety of cutting-edge technologies, including surface plasmon resonance (SRP), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), fluorescence polarization (FP), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), circular dichroism (CD), protein fragment complementation assays (PCA), various two-hybrid systems, and proteomics and bioinformatics-based approaches, such as the Scansite program for computational analysis. These powerful tools are essential for deciphering how proteins interact with each other to form biological networks, as well as for unraveling protein-protein interactions in disease to find novel therapeutic targets.

Description: The ability to map protein-protein interactions has grown tremendously over the last few years, making it possible to envision the mapping of whole or targeted protein interaction networks and to elucidate their temporal dynamics. The use of mass spectrometry for the study of protein complexes has proven to be an invaluable tool due to its ability to unambiguously identify proteins from a variety of biological samples. Furthermore, when affinity purification is combined with mass spectrometry analysis, the identification of multimeric protein complexes is greatly facilitated. Here, we review recent developments for the analysis of protein interaction networks by mass spectrometry and discuss the integration of different bioinformatic tools for predicting, validating, and managing interaction datasets.

Innovative and forward-looking, this volume focuses on recent achievements in this rapidly progressing field and looks at future potential for development. The first part provides a basic understanding of the factors governing protein-ligand interaction, followed by a comparison of the four key experimental methods (calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, NMR and X-ray crystallography) used in generating interaction data. The second half of the book is devoted to in-silico methods of modeling and predicting molecular recognition and binding. Here, as elsewhere in the book, emphasis is placed on novel approaches and recent improvements to established methods. The final part looks at unresolved challenges, and the strategies to address them. With the content relevant for all drug classes and therapeutic fields, this is an inspiring and often-consulted guide to the complexity of protein-ligand interaction modeling and analysis for both novices and experts.

Dr. Tom Moss assembles the new standard collection of cutting-edge techniques to identify key protein-DNA interactions and define their components, their manner of interaction, and their manner of function, both in the cell and in the test tube. The techniques span a wide range, from factor identification to atomic detail, and include multiple DNA footprinting analyses, including in vivo strategies, gel shift (EMSA) optimization, SELEX, surface plasmon resonance, site-specific DNA-protein crosslinking, and UV laser crosslinking. Comprehensive and broad ranging, DNA-Protein Interactions: Principles and Protocols, 2nd Edition, offers a stellar array of over 100 up-to-date and readily reproducible techniques that biochemists and molecular, cellular, and developmental biologists can use successfully today to understand DNA-protein interactions.

This book covers the principle hydrodynamic and calorimetric techniques for studying protein-ligand interactions. A ligand is an atom, molecule, or ion that can bind to a specific site on a protein, and the interactions between any protein and its ligands are fundamental for the protein to function properly. Written from a practical standpoint, this book is applicable to both academic and industrial scientists wishing to characterize protein-ligand systems by using a multi-disciplinary approach.

Computational methods impact all aspects of modern drug discovery and most notably these methods move rapidly from academic exercises to becoming drugs in clinical trials. This insightful book represents the experience and understanding of the global experts in the field and spotlights both the structural and medicinal chemistry aspects of drug design. The need to 'encode' the factors that determine adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicology are explored, as they remain the critical issues in this area of research. This indispensable resource provides the reader with: A rich understanding of modern approaches to docking; A comparison and critical evaluation of state-of-the-art methods; Details on harnessing computational methods for both analysis and prediction; An insight into prediction potencies and protocols for unbiased evaluations of docking and scoring algorithms; Critical reviews of current fragment based methods with perceptive applications to kinases. Addressing a wide range of uses of protein structures for drug discovery the Editors have created an essential reference for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry and moreover an indispensable core text for all graduate level courses covering molecular interactions and drug discovery.

In this volume, the editors have collected the knowledgeable insights of a number of leaders in this field - researchers who have achieved success in addressing the difficult problem of inhibiting protein-protein interactions. These researchers describe their unique approaches, and share experiences, results, thoughts, and opinions. The content of the articles is rich, and in terms of scope ranges from generalized approaches to specific case studies. There are various focal points, including methodologies and the molecules themselves. Ultimately, there are numerous lessons to be taken away from this collection, and the editors hope that this snapshot of the current state of the art in developing protein-protein inhibitors not only pays tribute to the past successes, but also generates excitement about the future potential of this field
